Hello,
Keep the faith.

Depression will set in and that dont help. It like goes in and out, one minute fine the next down.

Just be sure he can see and hear friends and family, be positive dont let there be negative talk.

Chat about fun things, if it turns back to the illness, try to be understanding but dont dwell on it.

Like I said I know lots of people who made it.

It might be good if we could 'e' mail him our support.

My Prayers and Hopes to a recovery.

Worfy

[FA Frey XC]

Peeps - you can "e" mail him.. via this thread.

Astarte, you are a great person, and my hat is off to you for your actions in this situation.

Firesoul.... KEEP THE FAITH.

Yves will face whatever comes with dignity, integrity and humour because that's how he is.

Let's do our absolute best to cheer him up, so post your funny pics and jokes here!!!

I've also got what I am pretty sure is the hospital's address, and plan to send him something as soon as I can get the cash.

Remember that SFC: EAW T Shirt MagnumMan donated to D.Net, along with the rest of his.. stuff?

It's going to Strafer.

Regards,

[FireSoul]

update from his brother:

I was told he did a few steps yesterday. Doctors all met and because he's doing so well and recovering fast they will transfer him to General and start chemo. I don't have a date but that's the plan.

Frey, before you send that care package, note that he may be moved to a different hospital altogether, soon.

Hey Yves, I have have been monitoring this thread and your progress for a little while now, and
just wanted to pass along my best wishes and let you know I am praying for you.

Keep your spirits up,

Hello,

I'm Flamehawk...a good friend of Firesoul, Astarte and Strafer.
(kind of obvious considering I'm sending this through Astarte's account)

Here's a Strafer Update:

A mutual friend of ours went to see Strafer last night:
"Is there something that you'd like to eat?"
"Gabriel's Pizza, all dressed."

Since that mutual friend couldn't bring it today...I got drafted.

I brought the Gabriel's right before noon, and the nurse brought us to the Sun Room.

Strafer and I talked for a while, though he's keeping his answers short.
His parents brought his laptop last weekend, so I asked Strafer:
"So, what are you doing on your laptop?"
"Play games."
"What games?"
"SFC."
"What race?"
"Fed."
"Are you winning alot?"
"No."
"See Strafer, you have to play Rom.  THE best race in the game.  Don't play Fed.  They miss with their Photos, then complain when they lose."

ROM-FHF rules!

[Fedman NCC-3758]

Ripping into Rom hulls with quantum torpedoes in between slices of pizza.

Now that's living! 

Enjoy that pizza and God speed!

Fed

[Astarte]

Ripping into Rom hulls with quantum torpedoes in between slices of pizza.

Yah...that's IF the photons hit.

I still remember a SFB game where a Fed-BB fired 8 full overloaded Photon on a Gorn PF, at range 5...and NO hits.

[Fedman NCC-3758]

Number one: I was talking about Quantum torpedoes.

Number two: I was talking about SFC III with the latest patch.

Number three: Set overloaded Quantum torpedoes at proximity and watch the fun. 

"Ooh, that had to hurt."

I have to apologize for not only FlameHawk, but Strafer and myself as well: We're not SFC3 fans.. we're SFB fans. I bought SFC, and then later SFC2 and SFC-OP because it was SFB. In fact, that's why my mod ever existed: we wanted to play SFB *BUT* in a way that preserved the feel of SFC since we had to admit was different as well.

Anyway.. FlameHawk is and has always been a Romulan fan, plasmas and mauler and cloak and all...
I think he should create his own dynaverse.net account.

PS. Now remember, this thread is about Strafer, not SFC/SFB.

[Fedman NCC-3758]

Oh I'm aware of the thread subject.

Once he has his lap top he'll see some friendly ribbing and maybe chuckle.

All in good fun.


Fed. ::off in search of the Borg::

[Astarte]

*chuckles*  Okay, I'm back on my own account.  *looks at her chest*  Yeah..I'm me.

Although Strafer has his laptop, he does not have an internet connection, so the best contact so far would be this thread.

I have an USB key I will be swapping back and forth with stuff for him to read/look at/watch.  One of the plans is to save this thread and send that to him, so please keep your jokes and messages coming!

They are looking to start chemo treatments within the week, and are hoping to release him by Dec 10th.

Keep your fingers, toes, and eyes crossed and Yves good health in your thoughts and prayers.

[KOTH-KieranXC, Ret.]

Just thought I'd pop in and say it's good to hear Strafer's doing better, and you have my highest hopes for his full recovery.

-K-Fo

[Astarte]

Alright ladies (kroma) and gents!

Just got word that he had his first chemo treatment today.  They have also moved him to the General Hospital.  Each day he seems to be improving which all in all is good news.  A bit more interaction, a bit more movement.  Heck, even his appetite is coming back!

We are all making sure he is loaded up on goodies and not just boring hospital food, so we will have him back as hale and hearty as when he went in!

Now I want to see some more jokes dammit!

I might even be able to pull out an orion girl or two as 'compensation'.

Feds are the best.Glad to hear Strafer is getting better send him a big mac.

[FA Frey XC]

Dammit DIZZY !!!! Where are your Orion slave girls pics !!!!

WE NEED YOU MAN !!!

I'll get some more pics up, I've had my own RL emergencies to deal with over the last three days.

I need a new address, please, if someone can send it to me via PM, that'd be most appreciated.

Regards,

[Bonk]

Glad to hear you're doing better Strafer!

I'm up to my ears in snow here. I've got to plow the driveway for the third time in as many days. I always realise how out of shape I am after the first big snow, I always end up really sore all over! The reward is the beauty though. The evergreens are heavily laden in snow and bright in the sun. 

Here's a funny post I came across on slashdot the other day. It tickled my funny bone (in a stupid-funny way):

Some unknown facts about MacGyver:

Fact: On the 1st day, God created MACGYVER. On the 2nd day, God created knives and paperclips. On the 3rd day.. MACGYVER created everything else.

Fact: MACGYVER can invent 1000 different things using a ball of yarn and a pair of sunglasses. 999 of these things can kill a man. The remaining thing can kill a planet.

Fact: MACGYVER invented genocide using only blankets and smallpox.

Fact: The only thing that MACGYVER cannot produce with a soda can and an extension cord... is mercy.

Fact: One time, MACGYVER built a time machine out of an old refrigerator and a pocketwatch, and used it to travel to the ancient paradise of Atlantis. However, while there, he went on a drunken bender with with a magnifying glass and a book of matches. This area is now known as the Sahara.

Fact: Chuck Norris is an android built by MACGYVER in an attempt to find a worthy opponent.

Fact: Some crazy people claim that MACGYVER was just a TV character, played by Richard Dean Anderson. In actuality, Richard Dean Anderson was played by MACGYVER, and the show was a documentary, the events of which REALLY HAPPENED.

And the final Fact: Necessity is the mother of invention but... MACGYVER is the father.

[FireSoul]

Long story short...Yves leaves the General tomorrow.

I last saw him last Wednesday...and while he's not eating...there's
no perceptable delay in
response to a question, and I'm able to make Yves smile & laugh.

I'm brining him some Gabriel's tomorrow evening.

P.S.
Some of you might have know that there was a "blip" that the doc had
found 2-3 weeks ago inder his arm (where
they had already operated).  Well the test revealed that it was
negative.  So all good news.

Sounds like he's going home.


Also:

Yves still has lymph nodes with cancer in his armpit area, where he
was originally operated on.

Yves isn't out of the woods yet, he has a big battle ahead of him and
will really need support until it is in remission.  The cancer is in
"roaming" stage right now and can hit at any time.  We can only hope
that by the time they operate on Yves for those lymph's that scans
still come up negative and that he may start chemo to flush whatever
is left in his body, praying that none of them remain in dormant
stage.

His progress from the brain operation is extremely encouraging.  I'll
be happy once he's been told by doctors he's _really_ lucky for the
cancer to be gone.

[FireSoul]

His getting out on Tuesday is iffy. He finishes his radiation
treatment on Tuesday so they may hold him for as long as the weekend
afterwards. He will then go back to his apartment. His parents will
be staying with him.

[FA Frey XC]

I've been sent an address that is his home address.

Let me know when he's gone home, and I'll ship.

Regards,

Frey

Hoi Strafer,

 I am sorry I have only just found this thread. I am overjoyed to read that you have entered the most irritating thing life can offer, healing. It is good to know you are well on the way, and quite right, if a break is required what better than SFC! Have you considered Gorn? Sturdy ships, not so bad plasma arcs, extremely good marines, and they have the ability to launch many shuttles quickly; I do not know why, they just can. Of course one should not neglect Hydran, to embrace the Hydran, is to embrace the fusion beam...  however I digress....

 You have demonstrated great spirit, and show promise of greater still, keep up the good work.

I do have one suggestion, for the good of your health, I would stay away from Fed ships, photons, they miss...often.


Take care

drb

Some more pics !!!

I have never had the honor of knowing Strafer but I hope it all works out. 

Godspeed.

[FireSoul]

He's Home!
It's just a daypass, but I just talked to him. I noticed he was online. I just sent him to this thread.

[Beeblebrox]

I'm very pleased to hear the doctors are satisfied with the operation.  Best wishes and highest hopes for a Christmas miracle to give him a full and speedy recovery.

[Sirgod]

So how was his day home last week? I hope he enjoyed it.

Stephen

[FA Frey XC]

Well, I hope we get an update soon, although I know it's the holiday season and stuff.

Regards,

[Cptn_Pestalence_XC]

Best wishes and Merry Christmas Strafer.. Get well soon.. we need you here at D.net... I need someone to teach me how to fly again.


Good luck to you and best wishes to both you and your family.

Pestalence

[Panzergranate]

Even better, record the Bewbies Thread on the USB stick!! That'll keep him happy for a long while!!

All I can say is it is better to play as Klingons rather than the woosey Romulans.

Play Klingons and feel the Galaxy tremble with fear!!

[FireSoul]

From a friend who DID spend time on these boards here as Boylinux:

Well Fab and I spent part of boxing day with Yves playing Starcraft.
This was probably one of the first lan parties in the Civic.

Anyways Yves is getting out from the Civic and will be home on the
4th. Not sure what is happening after he gets out except he has
social engagements for the next couple of weekends.

Hope everyone had a good Xmas and heres to a great New Years.

[worfhonour]

Hi,
I have been monitoring this board, i am so please to see great progress.

Our hopes and thoughts are with Strafer during the forthcoming year.


YA CAN DO IT BUDDY

Then it will be time for a master to teach Strafer a real Star trek game SFC3, a game for real men, not mice or gentle ladies, he he 

Joking all dont you go giving me grief 

Worfy
