Dear Ed... I've worked as a nurse for 25+ years and experienced much with death and dying. I pray and hope that you come to know Jesus Christ before you leave this life and enter eternity. Not religion my dear but God's son that He sent to die on the cross for the remission of mine and your sins. There is a beautiful paradise that God promises those who want Him. Jesus said , I am the way the truth and the life, no comes to the Father except through Him" John 14:6 Just cry out to him with a sincere heart and He will hear your cry and send the right people to help you on your journey! 🙏🙏🧎✝️✝️
I have seen only 25% dying on those first doctors estimates and they lived longer that is. All were terminal from the start. 3/4 is not a big statistic but if you have the spirit i would fight it! All of those 4 were older than you!
The surgeon said you wouldn't be able to move your arm and leg after your operation, you proved them wrong..prove them wrong again eddy. Keep strong, love to you brother.
You have lived a fuller life than most Ed.... and provided entertainment to tens of thousands while doing it. You're like extended family to many. I wish you nothing but peace no matter what happens. The way you have handled all of this is admirable.
Eddie, i was told i had 6 months to live and get my affairs in order due to melanoma cancer. I was scheduled for chemotherapy but never did it. I got drunk instead for a year. Im still alive, and this was back in 2004. Get started with rehab on your leg and GET MOVING WITH THE TIME YOU HAVE LEFT!!!!
Ya, avoid the chemo. It provides only a few percentage points of survival rate. But causes other chronic issues. ''Based on the overall cohort, that included 905 chemotherapy-exposed vs 3390 chemotherapy-naïve patients, overall survival rates at 18 and 30 months were 76.3 vs 69.3% and 61.6 vs 54.3%, favoring chemotherapy-exposed patients ( Figure 1A ). - NIH''
Alcohol is a toxin and kills cells, as is chemotherapy but much stronger, you never know the alcohol may have helped. Ps I am not saying people should hit the booze over any medical treatment. Gaz UK
Hey there as a critical care nurse for 3 decades I’ve helped countless strangers on their and their family’s worst day. That said none of us get to choose where or when we die. There’s power in choosing your life path in a way that’s meaningful to you. Bless you for sharing your life and your situation. Wish you peace and bliss.
There isn’t a date for our death and we don’t wanna die so we couldn’t pick a date. God has put into our hearts everlasting life and that’s what he promises soon when he steps in God‘s kingdom will rule and do away with all sickness all death, all wickedness And restore the earth to a paradise condition please read Psalms 37:10,11,29 in your copy of the Bible I think you will be very happy when you read the scriptures
God bless you Eddie, may the Lord give you strength to fight your cancer diagnosis. Give it to God, He will never leave or forsake you, He is the closest friend you will ever have in your life. No one will ever, ever, love you more than Jesus.
Hang in there ed, came across your video for a reason and will pray for you! I have prostate cancer, Crohn's disease and spondylitis! Been in pain along time and look at life as quality of life, not quantity which I tell my numerous doctors! My adopted "grandmother" , a neighbor from when I was a kid used to always tell me, " life is great, as long as you don't weaken" now I know what she meant!! Again, hang in there, you are not alone!
6 years ago I stumbled across your channel researching a Vietnam / Cambodia trip I was about to take. Been here ever since. We have never met, but you have brought me laughter and joy through your channel. This is making me sad. Please know that we are all rooting for you Eddie. Love from Los Angeles.
Keep fighting. A friend of mine was given six months to live fourteen years ago when he was your age and we’ve been to Pattaya together many times since, even this year 💪🏼
Having watched your videos now for a while, never posting though. I just want to say that Chris's thought is the best one to have. Kick butt as best as you can. Do the things you want to do. He;s given you a lot of time bro, there is a lot of fun to be had.
I was told by an oncologist that I had the same time left back in 2011. Wasn't brain cancer but the out come was grim. I just remember feeling numb after getting the news. Get back to Thailand asap is my advice. You have the right attitude Ed. Hang in there. I'm in Saigon right now and I'll keep travelling until they fit me for a pine box.
I’m 64. I had major surgery for colon cancer in 2009 and further major surgery/chemo/radiation for cervical cancer in 2015. In my case I didn’t find the chemo/radiotherapy too bad. My heart goes out to you. I’m so blessed to be here 9 years after my second cancer and have become a devoted grandmother in that time. Do what’s right for you x

Agreed. My sister wife died of cancer several years back. The chemo ravaged her. She stopped after a couple of rounds and focused on quality of life. Best decision she made, although I was on the fence at the time. She visited all the islands she wanted to visit. She lived well. Zoom back to Thailand if you can.
God is still in the miracle business. He never changes; He’s the same yesterday, today and forever. Pray to God and IN FAITH BELIEVING, ask Him to heal you. God bless you.
I'm sorry to hear that mate, my partner had cancer they gave her 2 years with kemo and good support she lived 5 years and all of it quality. All cancers are different and people react differently. Your a fighter mate keep going mate. ❤❤❤❤ your a legend mate
Sorry for the bad news, Eddy. My Dad died at 63 and I know how unfair it is. We all hope for long life. I lost my wife of 44 years at her age 71 and that did not seem fair either. Whatever you decide, live every day you have left as well as you can and don't give up on life. Each day is a gift from God and we should accept it and appreciate it, as it is. I will ask God to help you and Bless you.
I asked my dying mum, who had just turned 69, if she was angry with God. She immediately said no, and asked me what had she not accomplished, or for what had she ever wanted. She had earned a BA in her late 40's, run a business, built a local hospital, built a health clinic downtown, and raised three boys and her youngest by eight years, a daughter. She faced her death with grit and with grace. I miss her....we all do. But she did die, much too early by my count. I just didn't have a say. Ed, if you have a single person weep at your grave, you will have been a success. God love you.
Hi mate Ady here a brit in Pattaya, been coming to Pattaya over 20 years now live here. I met you at Nick's bar in Soi 7 , 2 year ago had a beer with you . Been following your channel over 10 years as well as Kev in Thailand.. So sorry to here the bad news- enjoy everyday now as if it's your last. Love you man god bless.
Thousands of people will die tomorrow from an accident and most thought they had years to live, like the song says”God made life a gamble, and your still in the game”, live each and everyday to the fullest. You’ll make the right decision.

My first trip to Thailand in 2020 I went just after you and your videos helped me book all my hotels! YOU are the reason my trip was a success and I’ve been back 3 times always a few days behind you. God bless you Steady Eddy. You got this!
Many people have commented on doctors being wrong. I have my own personal experience with a friend being told to go home and get his affairs in order because he was done with untreatable stomach cancer. He wisely got a second opinion with the doctors offering a treatment program that saved his life , 15 years later he is still here and enjoying life. At least get a second opinion , it saved my friend. If he had listened to the first Doctor he would have been dead within 18 months.
@constructionworker-bc6ki he can't get any insurance now! Without chemo he might end up too far gone before he's mobile enough to go anywhere, it's all an unknown.
First timer here. So sorry for the bad news you have just received. Don’t give up hope. God is good!! He never gives up on us. Sending prayers of healing and strength🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
I certainly wouldn’t bother with the chemotherapy, enjoy what quality time you have left without the pain of chemotherapy, I’ve seen people go through it and it just destroys them. Wish you the best mate.
After my colon cancer operation I was told I had to have chemo. But in the meantime I had major kidney issues and refused. That was 6 years ago. F the chemo IMHO.
@@cundallthepieman It can go the other way too. My Mum was given two months she was gone in 2 weeks. I don't want to know my expiry date, I'm not a bottle of milk. Just gotta make the most of the time we have now.
@@motleydude73 very true, I think you have to be positive and make the most... I remember being on holiday in the Caribbean and the people.next to us had just finished treatment and they were trying to make the most of a bad situation
@@cundallthepieman Well as a famous movie quote goes, get busy livin', or get busy dyin'. 18 months since my diagnosis. I quit work and travelled. Still am, though body is failing now. But on good pain relief. Can still do most things independently.
Take the chemo Ed, I’ve been through it and half way into it I wished I’d never started. But that was 5 years ago, I’m now 78, working 30 hours a week and loving life. I’m hoping for a similar outcome for you. With your positive spirit there are great prospects. Cheers mate
I'm 55 and 4 months ago I was diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer. I started chemotherapy, taking pills. 14 days on and 14 days off. I have very little side effects. Sick only 1 time out of the 14 days. My most recent scan showed that the cancer in the pancreas has shrunk from 3.3cm to 2cm. Liver cancer had also shrunk. I'm still working and like yourself, I have already done a great deal of traveling. I would 100% try the chemo pills. I can send you the name of the pills if your interested. I feel 100%. Keep fighting and never give up!
They use different combinations of chemicals/drugs for different cancers, there are approximately 200 different drugs that they use which are all used in different combinations.
Terrible news mate, I'm still here in vientiane, i head back to Australia next tuesday, every time i walk past the fake elephants at the temple on the mekong river road that i seen in 1 of your videos i think of you and wish you well, i will continue to do so until the day i leave, thank you for everything you've done and still doing for your fellow travellers
@user-oi9to7ux7k thank you, I'll hopefully only be back in Australia a short time as I plan to build on the foundation for a base I have Herr in laos, only return to Australia for work, 6 months Herr, 6 months there, that's my plan 👍
We are all here in Thailand to pass away in the time we have left in what we call our little slice of paradise Eddy. We support what ever you decide. Thailand does love you.
Sorry to hear this Ed. Just remember most people don’t ever do anything or achieve anything or go anywhere, you’ve absolutely smashed it 👍🏼 keep us updated
Tripped over your videos when my wife and I were planning a trip to Cambodia. I've enjoyed the channel ever since. Whatever fate plays out for you, know that strangers got something from your work. Will continue watching for however long you're able to share.
Eddy, I forgot something very important that I advise you to do if you haven't done so already. Two documents: Make a Last Will and Testiment, and an Everlasting Power of Attorney. If you don't want the government or the banks to take your money later, the Will is obvious. But in the meantime, for whatever time you have left, you may go through periods when you are not in control of your thoughts and actions. You will be alive, but not functioning mentally, and you may wish another person to make decisions for you. As far as I know this is a legal document that requires a lawyer or a notary - while a Will may not need this legal authorization. Do any other subscribers or viewers have any thoughts about this? Since Eddy's legacy to all of us are his videos, I think that we should step up and help him in any way possible. BTW these 2 documents vary from country to country. Eddy it may be worthwhile for you to Google these,issues, and see what is in force both for the UK and for Thailand.
@@ivritasker - A good and helpful thought in times when our mind may be concentrated on other things. Certainly these legal issues are worth tying up if only for peace of mind, even though they may not actually be put into practice for years to come. I am a 75 year old UK national living in Spain, and some years ago my lawyer helped me draw up both a UK Will and a Spanish Will, which was notarised in Spain. I am currently recovering from cancer, and it is reassuring to know that my testamentary documents are in place.
Praying for you EDDIE,my partner of 22 years died four weeks ago I thought she was in hospital and I thought she was going to be okay but they took her for a C.T.scan and found a bleed on her brain,she was put in a wee room where I stayed with her 24 hours,the nurses and medical staff looked after both of us, I held her hand and told her how much I loved her and she told me how much she loved me, stayed with her and told her I wasn’t going to leave her side,the pain of losing her was just horrific but at least I was with her until her dying breath,so even if you get another couple of years enjoy them to the fullest EDDIE, and who knows you might get a miracle,take care and stay safe, I miss my BEAUTIFUL LOVING CARING MARGARET so very very much R. I. P.my wee MAGGIE,JIM AIRDRIE,SCOTLAND.👍❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌺👍
Sorry to hear that news. You live the rest of your life as you see fit. When I was 25 yrs old I had cancer and had chemo and radiation on and off for two years. I was told it would come back and I would be lucky to see 30. I am now 67 and alive and kicking. Eat, drink and be merry.
Hey Eddy, I met you last summer walking in the streets of Phnom Penh. I knew it was you from a block away, you're a handsome fellow and a real gentleman! God bless you buddy, stay strong.
Absolutely gutted to hear this news. Relax, take stock and then see what the next months bring. Life’s to short, if you can definitely get back to Pattaya and go out on a high. Sorry to hear your news, you are a legend and thanks for sharing your journey to date
You have truly lived Ed, and touched so many hearts along the way. Most barely make a mark. You have been blessed with a life of amazing experiences and shared them with the world. Look within to find your peace and may our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ comfort you in all your days here and beyond. You are loved completely Ed. God bless you my brother.
Been watching you for almost a decade Ed and you feel like a member of the family now .Have tears in my eyes watching this but I know you have the strength of character to achieve your goal of getting back to what we all know is Truly Amazing Thailand . Please look on the prognosis as 12 months to 15 years !! You are so improved compared to a couple of weeks ago ,so while your body and mind are in this state please do your very best to improve further . Try to force yourself to do fist clenches every hour or so ,say 10 reps at a time . And curl your toes backwards and forwards ,bend your knee up as much as you can ,all increasing the amount of reps you do every day .Get your circulation working Ed please . I know its going to be so tough and sorry I am not really explaining myself well but you have to fight and gather your strength . When you get out of hospital eat as healthy as you possibly can ;be very strict with yourself . Cut out sugar entirely or just have a treat once a week ,etc,etc... You promised yourself to be in Thailand in January so please start preparing for it right now 👍 👍 . Very best wishes to you and promise us all that you will keep fighting . We all love you Ed (but not as much as the ladyboy in Cambodia though...😅)!
Aw, man....Eddy! I'm still keeping fingers crossed for you, buddy! A positive attitude is the best thing you can have with this information. And so many of us are continuing to pull for you! 👊👍
Every single case is different, and so much of it is down to us, our attitude and fortitude - which you have in abundance, Eddy. I pray that you have peace and longevity.
I only bumped into your videos this last year and I am so sorry to hear your news. I've had some recent serious health scares and know a number of friends and family suffering and some taken too soon. I decided to semi-retire. Your situation reminds me that none of us know the day we'll be called and as you've shown - living is about getting out there doing what you love. Thank you for that and I pray that things goes as well as they can.
Ed, you are a brave man and handling this with dignity. Most doctors guess how long one has. 12/15 months could be 5, 6, 10 years. You never know. We have you in our prayers. God bless you.
Sorry to hear the bad news Eddie, Stay positive I had a close friend with the same cancer, now they told him 16 months to live ,well do what ever it takes he ended up living 5 years ,so stay positive god bless you
Steady Eddie you are a legend mate , have travelled your journey on you tube from the beginning, you are the most honest and straight talking person, you have a lot of people praying for you 🙏 , and lots of love ❤❤❤
I've watch many people face the ultimate dilemma in my profession. But there does come a time that when the acceptance of dying kicks in, it does get quite easy after that. Eddy, may God bless you.
You are a straight down the line type of guy and what you needed was honesty and that's what you got from the doctor. Ignore those in the chat making unrealistic predictions, these people are only setting you up for a fall, they don't live in the real world. All the best.
What a news, be positive, we are all mortals and we are all heading towards the same path. Life is a flash in the pan in the enormity of things and do what ever makes you happy today
God is the only one who can say when we will go home. A Dr told me I was going to die with in two months that was Twelve year's ago!! Don't give up,one day at a time ,🙏💜
Sorry to hear the bad news, don't give up hope Eddy, as difficult as it is I hope you can stay positive. God Bless, you are in our thoughts and prayers.🇮🇪🙏.
Chemo only option by the sounds of it - my ex wifes Auntie had same Brain Cancer as your describing - given less than a few weeks to live but after 3 Chemo Sessions appeared to be cured and for 5 years had a good life . Sadly she did pass away but 5 years later than was told . Me I will retire in Thailand enjoy the remainder of my life there and die there a Happy Man . Never give up Eddy keep living the Dream. ❤
I'm with you, sir. I'm going to retire there in early 25. Eddie's plight has really made me think of many things and of preparedness. Live life on our terms.
You have been given a gift….. the gift is knowing you won’t be here forever….. you must show those who love you and those who watch you. How to live and how you accept death you will leave so many people with an amazing view of life keep the fight going my friend ❤️
I pray I and my loved ones never get this disease. But If I ever get this I will never go to Hospital if it is late stage and will enjoy the last days of my life on my terms.
Friend of mine had brain cancer Eddie and was told he had 6 months. An ex Royal marine he knew had lung cancer and had the same amount of time. The Marine was told that 8 years ago and he puts it down to using Rick Simpson oil ( THC ) and my friend who started using it stunned the doctors as his cancer stopped growing. It’s just a thought for you. I wish you well mate.
This is not the news I was wishing for steady Eddy after you were getting to start to feel much more positive. But still 1,5 years of living your life to the fullest can be very rewarding. I sometimes have the feeling some people life more in 1 year than some people do in there whole life time. And who knows what science can do in the next 1,5 years. Go out with a bang! Cheers
My grandmother was given six months and lived five more years but I think it’s good to consider quality of life. It’s a hard call and only you can make the right decision for yourself. None of us can know the future, whatever our age and diagnosis! Follow your heart and be well. Best wishes to you for a wonderful time however much time you have here ❤
Dreadful news 😢 only you can make the decision. Wasn't expecting this news this morning. Like you say, live life to the full, none of us know when it is our time. So sorry to hear this, what else can I say but Thank you for the adventures and your wonderful sense of humour throughout the years 🙏
Hi Eddie Giving you that news on the phone was terable. You have a strong will. Get it working on recovery get the most out of what you have. You may well be surprised at how well you can get. You have a lot of support with your fowlers. Thinking of you.
Eddie i love watching all your videos , and i eant to keep watching them for years to come . So get strong buddy and beat this !! Your a champ 💪💪💪💪 . Your fellow Irish traveller.

Congratulations on your achievements
Hi eddie, im no cancer speacialist but my missus is as a oncoligist nurse. A few things i want you to consider
1) you have been terminally diagnosed. This means regardless of treatment, the eventual outcome will be the same, its a matter of time
2) quality of life, all chemo will do when you are terminally diagnosed is extend your lifespan, not save! Your time will be in extreme discomfort and pain. Chemo can also weaken your immune system and lead to secondary issues, such as pneonmia and chest related diseases. When you see cancer patients who are 7 stone, and gaunt and bald that aint the cancer, thats the effect of numerous chemo treatments. Chemo is used when the cancer is detected early and outcome is good.
3). Look at the type of cancer you have. Yes its the brain, but not something like pancreas, lung etc
4) wait 6 weeks before starting any chemo treatment, get a scan. If there is no growth then sod it, concentrate on getting mobility sorted, come back to thailand. Enjoy your last days like a lord. If you go for chemo treatment now, you will be sick, loss of weight, mobility will be affected
Agreed. My sister wife died of cancer several years back. The chemo ravaged her. She stopped after a couple of rounds and focused on quality of life. Best decision she made, although I was on the fence at the time. She visited all the islands she wanted to visit. She lived well. Zoom back to Thailand if you can.

Great comment ❤ I think Ed is the fighting type as well.
Brain cancer?
Sorry for the bad news, Eddy. My Dad died at 63 and I know how unfair it is. We all hope for long life. I lost my wife of 44 years at her age 71 and that did not seem fair either. Whatever you decide, live every day you have left as well as you can and don't give up on life. Each day is a gift from God and we should accept it and appreciate it, as it is. I will ask God to help you and Bless you.
So sorry to hear this news mate. Stay hopeful as sometimes doctors are wrong and people live for longer than they expect. Keep the faith mate.
With God, all things are possible!! I’ve seen people cured of Stage 4 cancers. Praying for you🙏🏽
Your invisible sky daddy gave him cancer…
@@pb5640 LOL. So true. SherryBaby should watch some George Carlin on religion.
@@Woudloper. Carlin was brilliant on that topic 🤣😂🤣
@SherryBaby2003 AMEN AND AMEN 🙏❤

I asked my dying mum, who had just turned 69, if she was angry with God. She immediately said no, and asked me what had she not accomplished, or for what had she ever wanted. She had earned a BA in her late 40's, run a business, built a local hospital, built a health clinic downtown, and raised three boys and her youngest by eight years, a daughter. She faced her death with grit and with grace. I miss her....we all do. But she did die, much too early by my count. I just didn't have a say. Ed, if you have a single person weep at your grave, you will have been a success. God love you.
Why bring an invisible sky daddy into this poor man's suffering ?
If there was such a thing, he wouldn't be in this situation 😢
Hi mate Ady here a brit in Pattaya, been coming to Pattaya over 20 years now live here. I met you at Nick's bar in Soi 7 , 2 year ago had a beer with you . Been following your channel over 10 years as well as Kev in Thailand.. So sorry to here the bad news- enjoy everyday now as if it's your last. Love you man god bless.
Thousands of people will die tomorrow from an accident and most thought they had years to live, like the song says”God made life a gamble, and your still in the game”, live each and everyday to the fullest. You’ll make the right decision.
With Trump it could have been "ear today gone tomorrow "
In Cambodia a tree fell on a tuk tuk Killing five people. 2 seconds either way and they live. I don't get it.
@@anthonydowling3356I'm a trump supporter but why would you bring American politics
@@anthonydowling3356 why would you bring Trump politics into anything that's got to do with a man from the United Kingdom he's not American he doesn't fall under our system so why would you even mention the word Trump and I am a trump supporter I am a wholehearted republican but I am a Ronald Reagan Republican therein lies the problem.
@@robertburnett6348 yes you are very right back in 1973 during a huge windstorm in Humboldt county California a gigantic redwood tree overall 150 ft tall what's enough lumber to build 150 Holmes from that tree has you cut it down mother nature cut it down across the highway crushing a car on highway 101 in California maybe I'm wrong might be in 1976 with a huge wind storm either way you get my point yes mother nature is a b****
My first trip to Thailand in 2020 I went just after you and your videos helped me book all my hotels! YOU are the reason my trip was a success and I’ve been back 3 times always a few days behind you. God bless you Steady Eddy. You got this!
Stay positive Eddy. 'We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails'
As someone who has just cancelled Bangkok due to illness my heart bleads for you Eddie, I'm devastated
Many people have commented on doctors being wrong. I have my own personal experience with a friend being told to go home and get his affairs in order because he was done with untreatable stomach cancer.
He wisely got a second opinion with the doctors offering a treatment program that saved his life , 15 years later he is still here and enjoying life. At least get a second opinion , it saved my friend. If he had listened to the first Doctor he would have been dead within 18 months.
@constructionworker-bc6ki he can't get any insurance now! Without chemo he might end up too far gone before he's mobile enough to go anywhere, it's all an unknown.
Ed I think you're the type of person that will live way beyond the date they predict. You are a strong person.
Be lucky.
I don't know you mate, I've seen a few of your videos.
Stay positive and enjoy what you've got left
Sending some love from the US!
Thankyou
First timer here. So sorry for the bad news you have just received. Don’t give up hope. God is good!! He never gives up on us. Sending prayers of healing and strength🙏🏼🙏🏼♥️
My mother had a similar diagnosis 4 years later she’s still here,yes she had the chemo and it was tough, dig in Ed best wishes
I certainly wouldn’t bother with the chemotherapy, enjoy what quality time you have left without the pain of chemotherapy, I’ve seen people go through it and it just destroys them. Wish you the best mate.
Agree with you .Thats what i would do .
Exactly my thoughts
After my colon cancer operation I was told I had to have chemo. But in the meantime I had major kidney issues and refused. That was 6 years ago. F the chemo IMHO.
Lot of time chemotherapy kill you. But that's not in statistics. It's dead by cancer.
Agree
Be positive, my dad was given 2 years and he lasted for 14
With or without chemo?
@@Miserableplace with
@@cundallthepieman It can go the other way too. My Mum was given two months she was gone in 2 weeks. I don't want to know my expiry date, I'm not a bottle of milk. Just gotta make the most of the time we have now.
@@motleydude73 very true, I think you have to be positive and make the most... I remember being on holiday in the Caribbean and the people.next to us had just finished treatment and they were trying to make the most of a bad situation
@@cundallthepieman Well as a famous movie quote goes, get busy livin', or get busy dyin'. 18 months since my diagnosis. I quit work and travelled. Still am, though body is failing now. But on good pain relief. Can still do most things independently.
Living Legend!! Chips stacked against ya and you show us all how to live. You are a Gem of a human , good luck sir we are all backing you ❤️💪🏼
Bless you. Thanks for reminding me to be grateful, to the power behind conscious awareness, as a 58 year old, to still have my life each day.
Never give up you Steady...you always have hope and 60k subscribers sending you love ❤❤
Six months to walking good, another six months living good, and living your best each day after. Live it, Eddy.
Hear, hear !
Take the chemo Ed, I’ve been through it and half way into it I wished I’d never started.
But that was 5 years ago, I’m now 78, working 30 hours a week and loving life.
I’m hoping for a similar outcome for you.
With your positive spirit there are great prospects.
Cheers mate
As a cancer survivor, my heart is with you mate. Most important STAY POSITIVE, and see the support and love you have.
You’re a very brave person to go on social media with this news. Whatever you decide to do you’re in my prayers.
Even if I have never met you, I am so sorry. Please stay strong.
Absolutely appalling you got that news via telephone.
Never ever give up Eddie.
You'll pull through, trust me bro. ✝️
Specialist suppose to visit there patients in there room in hospital not call them strange
This is the NHS, it’s bare bones and no fancy stuff. To be honest I was surprised how quickly he got an operation.
I'm 55 and 4 months ago I was diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer.
I started chemotherapy, taking pills.
14 days on and 14 days off.
I have very little side effects. Sick only 1 time out of the 14 days.
My most recent scan showed that the cancer in the pancreas has shrunk from 3.3cm to 2cm. Liver cancer had also shrunk.
I'm still working and like yourself, I have already done a great deal of traveling.
I would 100% try the chemo pills.
I can send you the name of the pills if your interested.
I feel 100%.
Keep fighting and never give up!
They use different combinations of chemicals/drugs for different cancers, there are approximately 200 different drugs that they use which are all used in different combinations.
Thank you for sharing, wish you all the best. God bless.
Thank you so much for sharing this Eddy. 🙂🙏 We’re with you all the way whatever happens. Thanks so much. 🙂🙏🌷
Terrible news mate, I'm still here in vientiane, i head back to Australia next tuesday, every time i walk past the fake elephants at the temple on the mekong river road that i seen in 1 of your videos i think of you and wish you well, i will continue to do so until the day i leave, thank you for everything you've done and still doing for your fellow travellers
Thank you Eddy, in advance, for everything you're going to do.
Good luck to you in Vientiane and Australia, mate.
@user-oi9to7ux7k thank you, I'll hopefully only be back in Australia a short time as I plan to build on the foundation for a base I have Herr in laos, only return to Australia for work, 6 months Herr, 6 months there, that's my plan 👍
We are all here in Thailand to pass away in the time we have left in what we call our little slice of paradise Eddy. We support what ever you decide. Thailand does love you.
You're not thai so button it
Sorry to hear this Ed. Just remember most people don’t ever do anything or achieve anything or go anywhere, you’ve absolutely smashed it 👍🏼 keep us updated
Prayers for you mate, get close to your creator. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Prayers and blessings onto you, Ed. Never give up enjoy each and every minute❤.
Tripped over your videos when my wife and I were planning a trip to Cambodia. I've enjoyed the channel ever since. Whatever fate plays out for you, know that strangers got something from your work. Will continue watching for however long you're able to share.
Eddy, I forgot something very important that I advise you to do if you haven't done so already. Two documents: Make a Last Will and Testiment, and an Everlasting Power of Attorney.
If you don't want the government or the banks to take your money later, the Will is obvious.
But in the meantime, for whatever time you have left, you may go through periods when you are not in control of your thoughts and actions. You will be alive, but not functioning mentally, and you may wish another person to make decisions for you. As far as I know this is a legal document that requires a lawyer or a notary - while a Will may not need this legal authorization.
Do any other subscribers or viewers have any thoughts about this? Since Eddy's legacy to all of us are his videos, I think that we should step up and help him in any way possible.
BTW these 2 documents vary from country to country. Eddy it may be worthwhile for you to Google these,issues, and see what is in force both for the UK and for Thailand.
@@ivritasker - A good and helpful thought in times when our mind may be concentrated on other things.
Certainly these legal issues are worth tying up if only for peace of mind, even though they may not actually be put into practice for years to come.
I am a 75 year old UK national living in Spain, and some years ago my lawyer helped me draw up both a UK Will and a Spanish Will, which was notarised in Spain.
I am currently recovering from cancer, and it is reassuring to know that my testamentary documents are in place.
Sad to hear this Eddy. Hang in there as best you can. Sending you love from Sanremo. Keep on keeping on Eddy.
Very sorry to hear this. I always enjoy your reports. Courage!!!
Praying for you EDDIE,my partner of 22 years died four weeks ago I thought she was in hospital and I thought she was going to be okay but they took her for a C.T.scan and found a bleed on her brain,she was put in a wee room where I stayed with her 24 hours,the nurses and medical staff looked after both of us, I held her hand and told her how much I loved her and she told me how much she loved me, stayed with her and told her I wasn’t going to leave her side,the pain of losing her was just horrific but at least I was with her until her dying breath,so even if you get another couple of years enjoy them to the fullest EDDIE, and who knows you might get a miracle,take care and stay safe, I miss my BEAUTIFUL LOVING CARING MARGARET so very very much R. I. P.my wee MAGGIE,JIM AIRDRIE,SCOTLAND.👍❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌺👍
I’m so sorry to hear about Maggie. Sending a big hugs from Angus ❤
my condolences ❤
Thank you so very much really appreciated.👍👌❤️❤️🙏👍
Condolencesto you, , but so great for her that you were there with her until the end.
Sorry to hear that news. You live the rest of your life as you see fit. When I was 25 yrs old I had cancer and had chemo and radiation on and off for two years. I was told it would come back and I would be lucky to see 30. I am now 67 and alive and kicking. Eat, drink and be merry.
Hey Eddy, I met you last summer walking in the streets of Phnom Penh. I knew it was you from a block away, you're a handsome fellow and a real gentleman! God bless you buddy, stay strong.
Never would I have taken Eddie for a Hansum man....lol.hahaha
@@PopTartLeeThink that’s appropriate under the circumstances
He won't bum you mate
Absolutely gutted to hear this news. Relax, take stock and then see what the next months bring. Life’s to short, if you can definitely get back to Pattaya and go out on a high. Sorry to hear your news, you are a legend and thanks for sharing your journey to date
You have truly lived Ed, and touched so many hearts along the way. Most barely make a mark. You have been blessed with a life of amazing experiences and shared them with the world. Look within to find your peace and may our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ comfort you in all your days here and beyond. You are loved completely Ed. God bless you my brother.
Well said
Respect to you mate, I have cancer too, hopefully they will you overcome this crap, sending love to you.
Been watching you for almost a decade Ed and you feel like a member of the family now .Have tears in my eyes watching this but I know you have the strength of character to achieve your goal of getting back to what we all know is Truly Amazing Thailand .
Please look on the prognosis as 12 months to 15 years !!
You are so improved compared to a couple of weeks ago ,so while your body and mind are in this state please do your very best to improve further .
Try to force yourself to do fist clenches every hour or so ,say 10 reps at a time .
And curl your toes backwards and forwards ,bend your knee up as much as you can ,all increasing the amount of reps you do every day .Get your circulation working Ed please .
I know its going to be so tough and sorry I am not really explaining myself well but you have to fight and gather your strength .
When you get out of hospital eat as healthy as you possibly can ;be very strict with yourself .
Cut out sugar entirely or just have a treat once a week ,etc,etc...
You promised yourself to be in Thailand in January so please start preparing for it right now 👍 👍 .
Very best wishes to you and promise us all that you will keep fighting .
We all love you Ed (but not as much as the ladyboy in Cambodia though...😅)!
Aw, man....Eddy! I'm still keeping fingers crossed for you, buddy! A positive attitude is the best thing you can have with this information. And so many of us are continuing to pull for you! 👊👍
Every single case is different, and so much of it is down to us, our attitude and fortitude - which you have in abundance, Eddy. I pray that you have peace and longevity.
Attitude? So those who die just have a bad attitude? What a preposterously moronic thing to say.
@sidecar7714 had I said that it might have been callous and even hurtful. But I didn't say it, you did.
We are all rooting for you Eddy, you're a great guy and so brave.
Bless your heart. You do what is best for you! Great attitude you have. Live your life to the fullest. I am praying for you sir. 🙏
Sorry to hear this brotha. You never know. They could be dead wrong. Attitude is everything. Stay up!
Please leave your videos up Ed ! You are an absolute legend! . God bless you mate. !🙏
I’m so sorry to hear that mate pull through your a fighter god bless u
I only bumped into your videos this last year and I am so sorry to hear your news. I've had some recent serious health scares and know a number of friends and family suffering and some taken too soon. I decided to semi-retire. Your situation reminds me that none of us know the day we'll be called and as you've shown - living is about getting out there doing what you love. Thank you for that and I pray that things goes as well as they can.
Ed, you are a brave man and handling this with dignity. Most doctors guess how long one has. 12/15 months could be 5, 6, 10 years. You never know. We have you in our prayers. God bless you.
Sorry to hear the bad news Eddie, Stay positive I had a close friend with the same cancer, now they told him 16 months to live ,well do what ever it takes he ended up living 5 years ,so stay positive god bless you
Staying positive what will that do.
Steady Eddie you are a legend mate , have travelled your journey on you tube from the beginning, you are the most honest and straight talking person, you have a lot of people praying for you 🙏 , and lots of love ❤❤❤
I followed you in lockdown and u raised my spirits thanks very much very sad to hear
Hi Eddie, good luck with whatever you decide. Love from Australia💕
I've watch many people face the ultimate dilemma in my profession. But there does come a time that when the acceptance of dying kicks in, it does get quite easy after that. Eddy, may God bless you.
You are a straight down the line type of guy and what you needed was honesty and that's what you got from the doctor. Ignore those in the chat making unrealistic predictions, these people are only setting you up for a fall, they don't live in the real world. All the best.
Thanks for your honesty-
Cannot believe this bro.
You gave me inspiration to go to VN my first time-
Keep your head up Eddie-
@SteadyEddy I am praying for peace and comfort for you, your wife and family. ❤
What a news, be positive, we are all mortals and we are all heading towards the same path. Life is a flash in the pan in the enormity of things and do what ever makes you happy today
God is the only one who can say when we will go home. A Dr told me I was going to die with in two months that was Twelve year's ago!! Don't give up,one day at a time ,🙏💜
There is no god ..big fairytale
Sorry to hear the bad news, don't give up hope Eddy, as difficult as it is I hope you can stay positive. God Bless, you are in our thoughts and prayers.🇮🇪🙏.
Chemo only option by the sounds of it - my ex wifes Auntie had same Brain Cancer as your describing - given less than a few weeks to live but after 3 Chemo Sessions appeared to be cured and for 5 years had a good life . Sadly she did pass away but 5 years later than was told .
Me I will retire in Thailand enjoy the remainder of my life there and die there a Happy Man .
Never give up Eddy keep living the Dream. ❤
I'm with you, sir. I'm going to retire there in early 25. Eddie's plight has really made me think of many things and of preparedness. Live life on our terms.
Stay strong and positive when you can, brother. It is something we all face in the end. You are not alone.
Take all the treatment you can Eddy until you can't tolerate it - you can beat the odds. Wishing you the very best 💎🙏
Wow, I'm so sorry Ed. You are so brave and a wonderful person. 😢
Not a massive commenter on RUclips but watch all your stuff always have done no words love ya mate
Sorry to hear this news Ed.Stay strong.
Really sorry to hear that mate, sending good thoughts
You have been given a gift….. the gift is knowing you won’t be here forever….. you must show those who love you and those who watch you. How to live and how you accept death you will leave so many people with an amazing view of life keep the fight going my friend ❤️
I pray I and my loved ones never get this disease. But If I ever get this I will never go to Hospital if it is late stage and will enjoy the last days of my life on my terms.
Friend of mine had brain cancer Eddie and was told he had 6 months. An ex Royal marine he knew had lung cancer and had the same amount of time. The Marine was told that 8 years ago and he puts it down to using Rick Simpson oil ( THC ) and my friend who started using it stunned the doctors as his cancer stopped growing. It’s just a thought for you. I wish you well mate.
Don’t give up. Sending love . Believe in miracles ❤❤❤ keep fighting!!
God bless you Eddie,my prayers are with you.xx
This is not the news I was wishing for steady Eddy after you were getting to start to feel much more positive. But still 1,5 years of living your life to the fullest can be very rewarding. I sometimes have the feeling some people life more in 1 year than some people do in there whole life time. And who knows what science can do in the next 1,5 years. Go out with a bang! Cheers
My grandmother was given six months and lived five more years but I think it’s good to consider quality of life. It’s a hard call and only you can make the right decision for yourself. None of us can know the future, whatever our age and diagnosis! Follow your heart and be well. Best wishes to you for a wonderful time however much time you have here ❤
Dreadful news 😢 only you can make the decision. Wasn't expecting this news this morning. Like you say, live life to the full, none of us know when it is our time. So sorry to hear this, what else can I say but Thank you for the adventures and your wonderful sense of humour throughout the years 🙏
Sorry to hear mate. Stay strong and positive ❤
I'm shocked I don't know what to say other then GOD bless ole mate. I'll pray for ya .
