Hi Bib. Naranja is leased to a syndicate. I know the owner who believe it or not is or was the headmistress of a South London school, she is a complete and utter nutcase. In her spare time she runs the London Racing Club. Very special woman indeed and nice that she has such a nice mare.

Mick, like everyone here, I wish you the best of luck and hopefully a quick victory over the big C and a return to rude health. Maintaining a positive outlook could be very critical to you so it is good to see you showing fighting spirit on here.

You will know from some of my postings that I am a very harsh, realistic actual fact person much of the time, so do not take offence at me telling you this. A couple of years ago, I lost a friend to mouth/throat cancer, who had been fighting it for five years. He had chemotherapy, all sorts of drugs and surgery, at one point not being able to speak because of throat surgery. After mouth surgery, his jaw had been wired so that he could not actually eat solids – living on (medically prescribed) protein drinks (and beer!). The terrible thing in his case was that he passed a couple of weeks after the oncologists had told him that they were going to un-wire his jaw because he was in remission. He never gave up until he was re-admitted to hospital a few days before the end. We have made massive advances in cancer treatments but to some extent, I still think you need a lot of luck. If one of our friends in the Emerald Isle can send you some of their luck, I am sure you would gratefully receive it.

Yes Quarter, I agree that you need a certain amount luck with the C. Up to now, mine is out, but like this game we love, our luck can change rather swiftly.
Your friends story sounds horrific and truly luckless. And yet others have the luck from the start and given the all clear in weeks with no complications.
The luck of the draw eh? Fate? Who knows, but I'm hoping when the larynx goes along with the tumour, it will be my turn in the winners enclosure.
Thanks for the well wishes.
By the way, there is nothing wrong with saying it as it is in my book.

Bob, thanks for the well wishes.
My father, and best mate, also died of cancer. Not nice to see.
Looks like I'll have to pack the sea n, so gonna live the dream, put the feet up and enjoy my time with the Mrs and my trusty hound. Mrs and sister itching to book a log cabin in the Lake District for when I get discharged from here.
Just hope I'll be able to quaff copious amounts of beers and wines.....the food can wait!!
