PAL Member Nexton - Sick

[Jeremy]

Hey guys,

I heard some unfortunate news today about a long time PAL member Thomas (Nexton). He has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is undergoing treatment right now.

He asked that I make this post for him to let everyone know why he has not been around. Here is the post he asked I make for him. Best of luck Thomas, I know I speak for everyone here at PAL when I say get well soon!

POST FROM NEXTON (aka Thomas from belgium)


I write this post to explain to a lot of people why i sudenly disapeerd from the face of the earth. Short story, i got a brain tumor.
It all started about 2-3 months ago when i suddenly started to get serious headache but this didn't concern me to much as i get migraines every now and then. But after a couple of weeks i noticed that it couldn't be migraines as those go after 24-48 hours, A couple of weeks a go, i finally went to hospital to take a scan and then the shit hit the fan, big time. They found a small tumor on the left side of my brain wish was already spreading. If i was 2 weeks later (around this time) i would be dead, or at least terminal sick without any options what so ever.


As of today i already have some positive news as my eye sight has improved (lost eye sight 4-5 days ago for about 75%) now i can see a bit better but i still have trouble with the right eye.
I'm now on my 3th chemo session wish is the last one because then we have to wait 1 week (until Saturday) to see how the tumor is progressing. Chances are high that i need surgery wish makes me shit my pants.


I never taught i would be so close to dead (i'm 23 and my kid is 10 months - born on 31/12/2008) and i'm not yet ready to go. My wive is going trough hell right now but she tries to keep it tougheter as good as she can.


The main reason i'm writing this here is because i don't want to explain my story dozens of times to different people, time has never been so important as now and i want to spent it with friends and family. but i don't want people to think i'm a bad person because they didn't here from me for weeks. I already made sure that everybody is payed for there work but it didn't feel good that i didn't let the people (who became close friends) know what the hell was going on.


Timing couldn't been worse as like i mentioned , my baby girl was born just 10.5 months ago and we bought a house 14 months ago, and i was almost finished with all my poker related projects that where going to launch in November - December. I worked on them for more then a year and now everthing is put on hold. I still don't know what the future will bring but i need to be prepared.


Theres a chance that i will sell everthing or just keep it. But if things get really bad i don't want my wive to deal with this shit.


I still have high hopes about my recovery (doctors aswell) but i don't think i will spend my time with my poker related stuff (or anything online related). i'm still having trouble thinking about selling. But then again , maybe somebody can benifid from it so all my hard work doesn't go to wased, i could care less about price. Not that i will give it for free. Let me just some up my projects so you have an idea. Its like giving away a puppy, only the person that i know that will give it there full 100% will be considered. What whatever cash i get i can take my family on holiday and maybe visit a close friend a mine in India (you know who you are )


LekoPoker.com : based on a "'open source video script" it has tons of modifications. integraded forum + wordpress for news,strategy, ... + rakeback design wish will be done soon. And a pokersavy.com type program. wish is still under development. It would cost you an extra 500$ to get it finished.


PokerRewarded.com ; pokersavvy.com clone (template ready but need to code it still)


* I'm working with a great designer/coder who charges 900$ per month (12 hours/6 days a week) and he has awesome skills and can do anything.


Than there was this idea to set up 5 diffrent strategy sites. badugistarteynation.com ,holdem....com, omaha....com, stud....com and than a general site with new vbullrtin software (already purchased) called pokerstrategynations.com

Rakebackchat.com

And at the bottom are all my domain names.

Like i said before, its for sale at any price as long as you are up to it.

Thats about it people, feel free to contact me by PM but maybe include your email so i can email you back (iphone doesn't display pal that well and don't have a pc in the hospital.) Don't worry if i don't respond right away because i have to send by iphone and i can hardly see the keys.

Thank to anybody here at PAL and wish me luck.

Cheers and it never hurts to include me into your prayers.
