Dear readers,
First of all thanks for the nice and encouraging words in the comments.
This morning I had to go back to hospital for a CT scan. The provisional results were sent to my lung doctor. He told me it doesn't look good. There is indeed a spot on my right lung but I also have some metastases on he rest of my lungs.
I have to go back to hospital again on Thursday for a bronchoscopy where they put a flexible optical fiber instrument into my mouth or nose to examine my airways for abnormalities. It's something I'm not particularly looking forward to.
That's it for the moment. Next week, February 23, there's another visit planned to my lung doctor and by then we should know how things are.
Take care of yourselfs. Gerard.

Sorry to hear. Jobbulást.
Very sorry, please listen to your doctors but don't be afraid to get a second opinion. Depending on how they scope you, they may give you a light anesthetic or numb you in some way, it shouldn't be too bad. Please take care and try to be well. Thank you for the update but taking care of yourself must be your highest priority now.
I'm sorry to hear this, too. You'll be in my thoughts over the next 10 days.
thank you for the update. hope things go alright in the next doctor appointment. if at all possible do try to keep us informed. we worry. take it easy. follow doctors orders. meanwhile we will hope for the best.
Darn! Sorry to hear that. Thank you for posting and know there are a lot of us thinking of you and sending good thoughts. Your blog has always been a favorite for sharing!! Take care and do what is best for you. <3
Be nice and kind to yourself, this is the time you need to focus and listen to your own voice. Take care.
Hang in there, Gerard. Our thoughts are with you - a Wisconsin fan
Wishing you all the best. Thank you for helping to make the internet so interesting!
Take care of yourself and stay strong. We're all thinking about you and pulling for you.
Marlee and I are rooting for you. Keep a positive outlook, get a second opinion and know that people like us are here if you need us.
Best,
Jack Jason & Marlee Matlin
Gerard. I don't believe I've commented before. However, I have been a fan and a regular visitor to this blog pretty much since it began and always enjoy your posts. My daily visit to the presurfer is as much a basic part of my day as morning coffee. You are like one of the family. I can only echo the sentiments made by others. Take care of yourself, stay optimistic and get well!. You are in all our thoughts.
Lyle Green Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
Gerard,
You're in my thoughts and prayers.
Looking forward to many more years of your very entertaining presurfing!
Tom
All my prayers goes to you my friend.
Like Lyle, I've followed the blog for many, many years.
Take care of yourself, Gerard! Prayers going out!
Having been a stalker of this blog for quite sometime, I wish you the very best of health, and thank you for much needed joy in many days.
Carl
Good luck Gerard!!!
Good luck Gerrard. I'm hopeful you'll have good medicine and a good care team. Like everyone here, I want you to do what needs to be done, I hope you can get through it with as much good humor as you can muster. I'll be thinking of you, and rooting for you. I'll keep checking in to learn what's up. You've been a daily part of my surfing for a long time, I want you to get through this, even with flying colors!
First time learning of this. I've never posted a comment before but I do want you to know I've been checking this website for many years. Many of your posts brighten my day. The stories you collect have made me both laugh and cry. I don't think it's too much to say that you have served your fellow man very well in making hearts a bit better. Not many people can claim to have done that. You will be in my prayers. ~ EAJ in Wyoming
It's ironic that I randomly clicked on one of your 'Recommended Blogs' http://arbroath.blogspot.co.uk/ and read that Kev is announcing similar lung problems! And you sound like similar characters in that you both live alone and keep yourselves to yourselves. Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.
Wish you well!
Get Well Gerald. My prayers for your good health.
Malaysia
Sorry to hear Gerard. I hope Thursday goes ok for you
Much love and healing energy going your way, Gerard.

All the best to you, Gerard! Take care!
I am sending you strength vibes and wish you well. Your daily efforts have brought such joy to me and so many others. Imagine all that joy flowing right back at you.
Good luck my friend
Get well Gerard! A big hug from an Italian pre-fan <3
Sorry to here that. All my strength to you. /Eva
I am very sorry to read this. Hoping for the best.
My very best thoughts are with you old friend.
Rick
So sorry to hear this, and I wish you all the best.
that's a lousy turn. may they get under it.
Thoughts and wishes are with you.
Wish you all the best!!
Hang in there, Mr. Vlemmngs, and thank you for all your thoughtful posts over the years.
Keep faith. Many people have recovered from what you have. I know some of them. Fight, and fight hard. Never surrender. Never give up.
Oh Gerard, I am so terribly sorry to hear this - please take care of yourself first and foremost, my friend - I'll be thinking of you and sending positive energy your way. Hugs to you! mjjj
Italy is rooting for you. Go Gerard!
Sending you prayers and well wishes, buddy. I hope the best outcome for you.
--Jose Ledesma
I've got you in my prayers, Gerard. Hoping for the best possible news for you, too.
I wish you the very best, and a speedy recovery.
I've been a happy reader of your blog for many years, and look forward to many more.
Cheers,
M. Currie
Gerard, I have read you for many many many years, and though you have no idea who I am, I always come here as though I visit a friend who tells me all kinds of awesome things.
So first, thank you, and also I just wanted to say all your "friends" like me out there think of you, send you lots of love and warm wishes, you go fight Gerard!
Max in NYC
Your blog is one of my daily haunts, so I too am aware of your trial right now. Prayers joining in with all the others.

Thanx for the update! We care about you and are keeping you in our thoughts.
Keep fighting, Gerard, and I'll keep praying.
Prayers and strength go out to you, Gerard....:)
Hi,
I've been following your site on and off for years. My feeling from the stuff you post is that you're a great guy, so may the universe look out for you!
Wishes from Cape Town, South Africa.
Cheers,
Duncan
How are you? how are you feeling? Plese be ok! Regards from México.
I am sorry to hear this.
I have been enjoying this site for years now, it brings me a lot of joy. Best wishes to you.
My father has been dealing with this for a few years know and something he and my mother have found to be helpful is to show your personality and passions to any healthcare provider/staff that cares to listen. It creates important connections that make the whole process far more bearable.
Cheers,
Rinaldi
Gerard, I used to perform fiberoptic bronchoscopies, and I'd like to reassure you that the procedure itself should not be difficult to tolerate; with just a touch of pharmaceutical support, you probably will not even remember enough about the procedure to be able to write a post about it. I join all of your long-time readers in wishing you a favorable outcome.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. All the way from Augusta, GA, U.S.A. E.
Gerard, I've been reading you for more years than I know. Focus on getting well and know that we are thinking of you. By the way, my aunt had some pretty bad lung cancer, got treated, and three years later ran a half marathon for the first time in her life. And she was no youngster. So take care of yourself and this struggle may someday be a distant vision in your rear view mirror.
Best regards-
Mark
Thank you for all you've done over the years; I've enjoyed reading your blog since the beginning. I know these are trying times, but don't lose hope - I'm still around despite the predictions of doctors, and I'll be around for many more years. And always remember that there are a multitude out here who are wishing you well.
Florida, USA
Another part of the world reporting in. I know that you and your doctors will fix this problem. Your website has been bright spot in my morning routine for years.
I check daily to see if you've posted an update.
Best of luck. Marc
Hi Gerard

re: packers movers bangalore comment 4/10/17 obvious spam. this is the reason why this blog needs to be archived. comments closed. etc. for anyone unaware please read most recent entry & all comments. if you don't know unfortunately Gerard is deceased. unless family or someone who has actual access to this blog does something to archive it there will probably be more spam. had no luck contacting blogger about this has to be official & steps taken etc etc.
RIP Gerard
:(
Oh, man. So sorry to hear. He did such wonderful work. RIP, Gerard.

For those who may not know about this might find it hard to imagine that international shipment of household goods is a very standard practice by now. We have truly become global citizens. There are statutory provisions in import and export regulations to deal with international relocations. You just need to opt for international relocation while filling out forms or while searching and you will be redirected only to relevant providers.
