Is an oncoming train. Tues I had the pulmanary procedure of cleaning out the airways and replacing the stynts. Well I didn't wake up easy from the anithiesia and the tumor has gotten big enough they don't want to try again seeing as it's too dangerous. I'm suppose to get chemo on Tuesday but that won't be decided until Monday. So what this means is I've got 1-2 months left. I'll get my Pz IV DAK done and hopefully The M3 Lee before I check out. I will hopefully be able to keep up here the best I can for as long a I can.

Cliff, I am so sad to hear this. I've lost too many friends lately and I hate to see this happening to you. I will also be praying hard for a miracle. Take care of yourself.

I remember that original post,one of the most saddest but pragmatic statements I ever saw.Imagine facing your mortality and worrying about what build you might be able to finish.What bravery

His condition must have worsened shortly after starting this thread, as he only checked in once more, and that was the next day.

So sorry to hear this. Cancer has hit my family so hard that I hate to see anyone suffering or watching loved ones suffer  |

That was Cliff, very focused and didn't like unfinished stuff!!! We could all learn from his example!!! That is why I try so hard to finish so many of mine since I'm not sure how much more time I might have. He always kept me motivated by his great words and his example.
Our So Cal AMPS group is having an M-48 Patton Group Build. I will participate in this and actually build a 1/35th scale tank that I will keep. I will dedicate that build to Cliff's memory.
