    It was never about me mate. You always had it in you.

    You still do. The way you've bounced back is beyond impressive. You did that.

    Hi Farnborough, yes I'm good.
    Not playing much at the wood as joined Hartley Wintney at beginning of the year.
    The wood is closing in March April so had to find a new course.
    Should put new thingymebob up as well.

    Hi guys. I posted this on the PL forum last night.

    This is a long read, so if you're not interested skip over.

    So last month I told you guys that after my last round of chemo I was told the stomach tumour had invaded my pancreas, and on that basis I was no longer on a curative pathway and there was nothing more they could do for me other than to suggest potential immunotherapy trials, or more chemo, the latter being only able to offer a few extra months of life.

    I was told to quit work and let my family know that my time was limited.

    So I faced it head on. Started to plan my funeral, sorted out all my legal affairs, asked friends to help my sons carry my coffin and arranged so many family and friends do's to, in effect, say goodbye. By last weekend I was happy all that was sorted.

    In the meantime my wife arranged a second opinion with another consultant at another hospital.

    So, after having a PET scan yesterday I am now booked in for a full gastroectomy on Nov 1st, after which I will need 6 to 8 months of recovery followed by a normal life.

    So news of my demise (unless I flake out on the operating table) is premature.

    My point is, and sorry it took so long, that you should under no circumstances accept the first prognosis. Get a second opinion! It could save your life!!!

    There's been a thousand tears shed today. The best kind.
