I've been thinking about you today. Our phone calls when I was out in the back garden yapping away and you really helped me at that time, mate.

The change you made in my life (it's always the little things) I used to eat my bacon and sausage sarnies with red sauce on, but after reading you keep going on about it, I tried HP and I've never went back. I had a sausage and bacon baguette breaky this morning from Greggs, that's when I started to think about you. I'll never be a red sauce heathen again, now!

Thanks for that, thanks for being supportive, thanks for just being you even what I got it wrong.

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 Vince. I'm copying here a pm sent to someone earlier with his permission. I've amended it slightly where appropriate.


At the moment we're waiting for an appt to come through from the Royal Marsden in London for a second opinion.

As soon as we (my wife and I) know the date we're sorting out a break to Venice, and then we're off to Edinburgh, so we're not in a position to talk about dates yet.

I'm going to try and sort a matchday out and pick up 'Joe' on my way up. I'm hoping Nov/Dec so I'll let you and everyone else know what dates we're talking about.

But, and its a big but, I may only get the 1 chance to come up for the one game, and so I won't do so unless Joe can make it as well. We'll be coming as pair or not at all.

It means that much to me that he be there. He and @CBD saffy.

Thanks for asking mate. I'd love to make it happen, to meet you and every guy on here.

Give me a couple of weeks to hear from the Royal Marsden, and then we can look to sort a match out.

Best wishes Vince

Paul

great post mate thanks
 
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.
