Brother Fairwind

Hello and happy new year to all. I do not post much, 2020 was not very kind ( non PCa related). I still search the forums, and enjoy reading all the latest news. While doing so, I came across some sad news on another forum. Some of the guys who have been around for awhile will remember Fairwind. He has been a regular contributor to this forum, and the prior one I was on before it closed last year. He is not doing well, with a psa around 5000, and in his words "feeling like it's time to fold the tent". I just wanted to recognize him and thank him for all he did to make the forums a great place since I arrived. His knowledge and wisdom, along with his technical expertise, made him one of my favorites. Add in the fact that he was always willing to help out others....it is guys like him who restored my faith in people. Please keep him in your prayers....regards, MM

Very sorry to hear this. You always remember the guys that helped show the way when you first got here and Fairwind was one.

He's been posting in 2020... Almost two posts a month.

‘You get braver as your options dwindle...”.

The famous quote from Fairwind, who has demonstrated bravery throughout his pursuit utilizing most every option imaginable.

Our brother F8 uses Fairwind’s quote as his signature.

Sending supportive wishes Fairwind’s way.

Add me to the list of those praying for both the best, and a smooth journey, for Fairwind. You are a breath of fresh air around here. I trust there are more good options in your future. May the wind stay on your back, hang tough.

Fairwind, many thanks for all you’ve taught me. All the best moving forward.

He helped me and my dad a lot as long as my dad was around. I am deeply touched by this news...hope he gets better soon. He is a real contributor to this froum.🌹

God bless him. I came here and found great information and most importantly, hope and kinship. Thank you sir..

Sorry to hear of this! Fairwind, if you check in, know you're in my thoughts and prayers. This disease can be a relentless foe, and inspiring guys like Fairwind are strong and dedicated fighters.

I've always enjoyed interacting with him. I believe he was one of the earliest to greet me here in 2013. As a fellow G9 case, we trade a lot of notes about aggressive treatments. He had one core with G9, and opted for surgery initially. Many subsequent treatments came later on.

For the record, Fairwind's entry is at the bottom of the first page in this thread: The Gleason 9 Crew - Welcome and how ya doin'?. (Our long-standing G9 Crew thread I began a long time ago as a gathering place for those of us with this diagnosis to meet and chat about the specific concerns. G9 discussions trend more toward survival than minimizing sexual impacts.)

God bless you, Fairwind. And thank you for your caring and support for all of us for all these years.
