Linda -- more hugs and prayers for your Rad Dad, and for your family.  Your dad should be so proud of how amazingly beloved he is on this forum.  He always radiates optimism and perspective and caring.  I hope he feels the full force of all that coming right back at him.

Linda,

Thank you so much for updating us!

Please let your Dad know that we are keeping him in thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Also, thoughts and prayers to you guys who are taking such great care of him.

Bud is an awesome inspiration to many. So genuine and kind.

Please let him know that Mr. Worry & I fully expect to be able to meet him in April... We have faith that he will be there!

Louisiana hugs and love sent y'all way...

Linda,

We certainly will be disappointed if Bud can't meet up with us in Louisiana, but he does have a good excuse.

Should he make it somehow, we promise to keep him hydrated.

Please make sure he understands how much he is loved by this group.

Barb and I send our absolute best, and will put him at the top of our prayer list.

Goodlife

Linda, Mrs. Bud, Gigi, and all,

Everyone has said, but special prayers for a special, supportive, and caring guy. Love, hugs, prayers to Bud and you all. He's been so supportive of the "warrior" ladies too.

Linda,

Your dad's presence on this forum is immense and profound. Please pass these words to him.
Bud, you have made yourself a better man .. But your task is not finished. You must come back and help us do the same.

Hugs,

Jim

Please tell you Dad that I'm trying to send as many positive vibes as possible. He was one of the first to welcome me here and comfort me last year when I was in really bad shape and very confused. His optimism and kind words helped to turn me around.

Linda, Your dad was the first person to welcome me to HW and has been a wonderful friend. I find this news so hard to hear since Bud is a life force for so many people on this site. His positive attitude and cheerful witty manner are Raddad/Bud trademarks.

Please tell him there are so many prayers and good wishes being sent right now...he is very loved here.

Thank you so much for letting us know...we will keep your family in our thoughts too.

I logged on this morning and thought "Bud has not written in a while, wonder what is going on"...thanks Linda for an update. Bud, hope you gather your strength so that you can embark on new therapies! One of them WILL work for you! Hugs!

Linda,

Your father plays a big role here at HW. My words really can't describe the impact on so many men and women.

Tell him to get feeling better and get back here. There are a lot of people waiting for him to tell us that we're going to be this crap.

We're all thinking and praying for good things for Bud.

Linda, gentle hugs to your dad and all of you. He was such a help to me when I was searching for answers and inspired us to stay hopeful. He will beat this crap, he needs to dance at Gigi's wedding.

All our thoughts, prayers, and hugs to Bud and all his family. Hoping and praying for him and his quick recovery.

Linda,

Dallas & Jeannie from Idaho send to you, your family and Bud our love and meditations. As you have read here, Bud is an amazing man that has given so much to so many of us that walk this PCa path with him. May the writings here offer you some comfort this holy weekend.

Linda,

As you can see, we think a lot of Bud around here. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for a really special member of our GFMPH family.

Bud,
I am not on healing well as much as I would like to be but I am always here in spirit. You my friend are always in my thoughts and prayers. Get better Bud. We all need you. You are the life blood of this site. You are a true friend to us all. GET BETTER SOON. Todd

Linda, please pass to Bud my wishes for speedy recovery. He is a strong force here for so many others, now he needs to be a strong force for himself aided by our love and admiration for him.

Remind him that the "Bonus Days" are worth having. And there are many left for him to choke the life out of.

He is in my prayers today and always.

Linda - thanks so much for giving us an update on your Dad.  Please tell your Rad Dad that there are tons of thoughts, prayers and good vibes coming his way from S.E. Wisconsin.

Your father truly is an incredibly uplifting, caring spirit here on HW - and I'm sure everywhere else he walks.  From day 1 for me on this forum he was there, as he has been for so many of us - and now it's our turn to be there for him. 

There is definitely a shift in the Force of positive energy from all of us for him.  And BTW - He will beat this crap!

My very gooderest best,

Jeff

Thinking of you, Bud, and hoping to see you back on here soon.

Linda - Please tell Bud there's about 500 guys at HW thinking about him, and wishing him the best! (He will beat this crap)

Make that 501!

Bud, your wife, children and Gigi,
Bud--You have the loving support of a beautiful family and all members of this forum. Like many before me, you extended a welcoming hand and greatly reduced my anxiety of having this horrible disease. I thank you sir and I'll never forget your views on "Warrior Women". I only shake hands with men, but for you a "big hug". I can only wish you the best!
Bill

Linda and Bud,
you are in my prayers.
Posted 3/30/2013 11:05 PM (GMT 0)
As we have had those of our group get sick and even pass away, I would get emails from Bud informing me of the posting, and then asking me to make sure I read it and post a comment so that we can keep the update on the front page. I ask that we do that as well for him as he needs as much love and support as we can possibly give him. If you read, or reread, please make sure to send a supportive message so that we are able to keep this on our minds and also for those who may not know yet that Bud needs us. And if anyone has an update, please let us know that as well.

Keeping Bud close to my heart these days!!!
Susan

Bud and family (Gigi) on my mind and in my prayers.
