Your mother is great Nic! = )

[tdcmoncton]

Thanks.

[RyanXHavok]

Thank you for making these videos, and showing we need to be more aware of Cancer, I have a very large family and almost everyone in it has had cancer at least once in there lifetime, my mother is 1 of ten kids, so that makes for a very large family. Anyways though, thank you for making these awareness videos- Ryan

[tdcmoncton]

Thanks, Ryan. Thank my mother, really. She's the one who insisted on the idea. I just helped push.  ;)

Just saw this commentary on Asher Kurtz, and his being awarded your highest honor Scottish Smurf! THANK YOU! I'm Asher's father. Did he ever contact you for recordings? If not, let me know,and I'll see what I can do to get them for you. Take care Nick!

[tdcmoncton]

He did, actually. Three live recordings from his trio. I'm hoping he has some of his Berkley recorded. You're son's jazz improvisational skills are astounding and I'm honored to have received this comment from you.

My friend, like a second mom, my hair cutter who i've known my whole live. She has breast cancer and it has now spread to the loungs. She may not make it. ='(

[tdcmoncton]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[four11xitk]

Thanks. I hope your mom feels better to. She's really a really lucky person. Most people die from Breast Cancer if I'm correct. Or the majority. Good thing she didn't. And what country is she from?

[tdcmoncton]

Canada. From my province. She's better and yes, quite a few people die from the complications but mostly from their Chemo.

[four11xitk]

Really well why does she talk like shes from another country. She talks wierd no offence, of were you can't really understand her.

[tdcmoncton]

French is her first language and she learned English a bit late in life.

She's not so difficult to understand if you actively listen.

[necox5]

It is good to share these kinds of stuff so people can get the opportunity to hear different stories.

[tdcmoncton]

Thanks for the time you took to write this!

[four11xitk]

So she learned French, then english? Well her english is kind of hard to understand? What age did she lean english?

[tdcmoncton]

Hmm... I really don't know but my guess is possibly in her early 20s.

[four11xitk]

Yeah well I can understand that. She speaks english well enough that you can understand her. But it's not like really really clear.

[necox5]

I understood her fine :)

But I'm from Europe so we might be more used to the French accent :)

[scratchingcat]

Are you still in the process of uploading the presentation? Anyways, props to your mom for sharing this. It takes courage. And I think fear is a big aspect of the disease. As soon as my dad got his diagnosis of lung cancer, he gave up and curled into a ball of fear. He died pretty soon after.

[tdcmoncton]

Sorry to hear of the passing of your dad.

As for the uploads for this project, it'll be a bit slow going due to proper compression and uploading. Editing is already completed. I just need to load them for viewing.
