You'd be surprised. Back when I was working for the NHS I was a proper party head, MDMA, Coke, weed, Pills most weekends and then in the week I had to be a straight, responsible NHS manager who gave talks and presentations etc. No matter how many times you do those talks, you always have a bit of the fear, and often if I was still on a comedown I'd have a strong coffee for some pep. The combo of caffeine, stress and adrenaline is not a good one. Trust me.
So I guess its time to bring you guys up to date on my position. I think most of you know that I was diagnosed with stomach cancer back in May/June. The prognosis was good. I was to have 3 rounds of chemo, an operation to remove my stomach, 2 final rounds of chemo and I'd be sorted. Well last week the chemo ended and I had another CT scan to see how the chemo had done and I returned to the hospital last Wednesday for my pre-op appointment. Well unfortunately it hasn't worked in the way we'd hoped. The tumour has now grown into my pancreas. This means that the operation is pointless now and they can do no more for me other than to keep me going for as long as possible. There is the possibility of an immunotherapy trial which starts next month or some more chemo. Anyway, we're talking just months now not years before it takes me and I may well not be around at the end of the season to see if we win promotion! Its all a bit of a bugger really!!
Oh Christ, I’m so sorry mate, that’s such awful news, as it sounded like your prognosis was good. Keep fighting the ****er mate.
****ing hell mate I'm so sorry to hear that, hope you get to enjoy Christmas with your loved ones and thoughts with you n family. Just try and keep fighting big man. **** man
Oh Jesus, Burley, I’m so sorry mate. It’s hard to know what to say! I hope to god the immunotherapy can help. God bless you.
that really sucks. You tried getting in touch with @CBD saffy ? I hope you do whatever you feel like doing and live it how you want and on your terms.
FFS mate ... shocking news ... let's hope the immunotherapy works .... they are getting closer to beating it all the time .... all the best to you and yours.
Just woke up to read this, took a while to sink in. Don't have the words mate Thinking of you and yours
I’m probably pissing in the wind here mate but a doctor from Sweden told me a few years back that high alkaline diet could help with some cancers but I really couldn’t say.
I know a jahova witness with mental health issues who swears by that. He also thinks the earth is flat And god is real Did i mention he's a few tools short of a toolbox
Not the news I expected or wanted to see this morning. I think the world of Burly, he's a true gentleman who lives life the right way. He's modest and humble, a diamond of a bloke basically. You will be definitely be in my thoughts mate.
Yeh, sorry about that Chief, thought you buggers were all sitting too cosy this bright monday morning so I thought I'd lower the mood for a couple of hours Once again guys, too all of you who replied since I lasted said thank you for your kind words, thanks again! But enoughs enough! No more thanking you's
