Contrast this to our current Chairman...

I'd genuinely never wish ill-health on Pappa, some things are more important than football, but reading this did make me ponder whether his energies would have been better spent elsewhere.

Poignant stuff.

Changing the subject slightly, maybe the marine diesel generator wing of Allamhouse is going into sales overdrive with the recent floods/hurricanes/tropical storms to hit the Caribbean and South Asia.

 

I ****ing detest the modern day plague that is cancer, one of our friends has just been diagnosed as having it in three places, including her liver.

 

It's kind of ironic if that is the case, making money out of people less fortunate than themselves. Bit like the taking away of concessions really.

 

It does make all the pointless arguments we have seem extremely unnecessary doesn't it.
Banners fine but it doesn't take long to turn into ridiculous mud slinging.

 

Someone my wife works with was diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago. She died in May aged 37 - leaving 2 young boys and a husband behind. I hate cancer.

What a heart warming note penned by the Barnsley owner. Clearly he has the football 'family' at the heart of his ownership. Ours couldn't give two ****s, which is odd given the years they have spent doing good deeds in the City. Most of that good work will be forgotten and they'll be remembered for being vindictive pieces of ****.

 

Lost my father in 2005 with cancer .. it's a horrible disease and the sooner they find cures to fight it the better hence why I always give to cancer research .. my one biggest regret in life was that my dad never saw City in the top league despite following them for 60 odd years .. puts things into perspective when we whinge about our fortunes over the last ten years .. he would have given anything to see them in the top flight

 

Heart wrenching.
I liked this bit particularly
but what has made it bearable against the occasional cruelty of the internet world is the kindness shown to me by so many fans on a personal basis.

 

Mrs. LBIA said something today that made me think, have any of the royal family ever died from cancer? I've not researched it but I can't recall any, and it does make me think.

 

Fair play Lambo, it does appear strange though, when the stats are something like one in four people contract it, that so few royals succumb to it. It does to me anyway.

Please move to the conspiracy thread if required.

 

Does the modern day diet play a big part in it.

 

Highly likely, processed foods and all that. It's certainly pretty amazing, not to mention horrific, how prevalent the illness is nowadays.

 

Plenty of rich people have died from cancer. Bowie died from cancer.

 

My life has never been so good as these last 9 years 4 months. Funny really but my life got better from the day I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Even though the bastard keeps coming back and it's back a fourth time but no treatment as yet and I am on watch and wait . Had another CT Scan today..

I was lucky though because I had not got a wife or kids . Dead hard for those who have..

And so hard for young people.

It's strange really because cancer wards and chemo units are full of laughter most of the time especially when people's family's have gone after visiting

I think it's harder for partners and family's of patients to be honest

I never have a bad day .

Why worry is how I think because I might get run over by a bus tomorrow...Anyone might...Anything can happen at anytime to anyone

Every one on here has been a help to me

And new friends I have made

Great Nurses and a great specialist...there more like friends

I am part of the Mac unit at Scarborough .
Having had something every month since 2008 though I did have 10 months off

For me there has been 99 positives
And one negative

I hate needles ...and I mean hate

Most patients I have met have loads of positives to draw on

Cancer gets a lot of mentions and sometimes I think other HORRIBLE stuff gets forgot about which gets me mad .

There's people on here WORSE off then me

No names mentioned

Just rabbiting on I know.

Cancer is not all doom and gloom really .

I am fine

Stay fine everyone else

Don't start pressing like

Everyone is in the same boat as I say

Enjoy each day....No one knows what's around the corner.. Even the most fit well and active people

 

My wife was diagnosed with cancer in May and the consultant said that the way things are going1 in 2 of us will develop a cancer.

 

That's our Filey, he'll "Die when he wants"

 

Yes I agree.
Like you say you don't really here of royals getting it and you can't imagine them eating processed foods

 

Only by us football fans, I'm pretty sure the families of the people his donations etc have helped and will continue to help for years to come really couldn't care what happens to us......the same as 90% of the outside world away from hull fans
