URGENT - Moral Support for Jean in Belgium !


Recommended Posts

Yes I realise this isn't a technical topic . . . . I've copied it across from 'Members' Chat' such that Jean's many friends who are not Register members can also, hopefully, lend a little support to Jean's cause in his hour of need.

 

Many Forumites will be familiar with Jean Roulleaux, our famous Belgian who invariably joins us at the International Weekend, and often enough at other TR events in the UK and in Europe.

 

Jean's deteriorating health has been a matter of concern over the past couple of years, and it's now reached a crisis stage.

 

In a nutshell, the recent surgery that should have been the lifesaver has turned out to be a disaster - the surgical team evidently got it wrong in a very big way. Net consequence is that Jean is in a nightmare situation, cancer spreading, in constant pain, and his life on hold. The last resort is massive radiotherapy and immunotherapy, very high risk and hugely expensive for his insurers . . . . and whether they will even consider funding it is an open question . . . .

 

Far, far worse than my own situation over the past couple of years. And right now, Jean's need is greater than mine.

 

This Forum has been a lifesaving support to me personally, just as it was in the past to Badfrog, Jean-Francois Savouret. When a medical team can see that their patient is being cheered on from around the world, it adds something to their efforts, and it's your input that helps keep them fighting . . . . even when it's down to the very last slim chance.

 

If you can spare a moment, please add an encouraging post to this thread, or even send a PM of encouragement to Jean -

Every little helps, the poor bar steward is going through hell right now, he and his oncologists need all the encouragement, moral support, prayers and whatever else that we can muster for one of our own.

 

Thanks TR chaps and chapesses.

 

Cheers

 

Alec

Jean,

 

Your will and the encouragement from us all are formidable weapons to employ

 

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

 

We know that you address your difficulties and we trust that your efforts will prevail, tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

I've sent a PM, but I suspect your inbox will be getting rather full, so know that we are thinking of you and hoping for positive news shortly.

Keep up the fight and batter this thing.

See you at Lincoln.

Hi Jean, sorry you are feeling so poorly at present but try to get your medical team to take note of Alec’s medical teams efforts and encouragement. We saw Alec at the weekend and he is looking great after his massive doses of Chemo etc. TR people are a hardy lot out in all weather etc. You can make it as well as Alec has, too.

Love and every good wish I can express. Keep fighting

Sue

Dear Jean,

Miracles do exist (i know from personal experience), and you need one now too.

The Belgium health care is known to have good reputation, keep trust in the doctors.

All the best.
