What ever happened to ... ?

Great news, mate. I can only imagined how difficult it must have been for you but it gives me extra joy seeing that people of this forum have somehow helped you get through this. It's a wonderful place this, red family indeed.

Just wanted to give an update.  17/11

I attended to a meeting with my Oncology consultants late on Friday.

After the summer of chemotherapy and radiotherapy , they have successfully arrested the tumour and there has been no further growth or activity.

What this means ... is that the treatment for the lung cancer has worked.

Next stop ?  Three month check ups.



Obviously delirious with the news and now needing to re focus on where my horizon is again.
There could still be a big red bus come along tomorrow morning and knock me over .... but the Big C has taken a hit.

I got in the ring with this thing 9 years ago in France ,  but it kept one eye open and eventually wanted a rematch.
Score now ?

Me 2  Cancer 0.

You will never realise the emotions that poured out of me when I was pointed to this thread just a few months ago.
I cried my eyes out with all the love , the messages and wishes that came out of it.

So.
Unfortunately.
It looks like a may be around for a bit which probably isn't good news for some but there we go.
Cancer does give you two things.

1 No restraint ..... not that I had any anyway .

2 You never feel more alive than when you are facing your own mortality.


I'm sending PMs to everyone that was there for me and you posted some wonderful stuff.
You know who you are.

Its an understatement ....... Thank you.

Well done Skip, just keeping on improving and supporting our LIVERPOOL REDS like we used to on the OLD KOP, as we did all those years ago.

Just fantastic news, really made up for you and yours!

My father in law struggled for years against that sh*te and eventually lost out, it's great to hear someone kicking it's arse.

That is absolutely brilliant news mate, made up for you! To beat it once is fantastic but to do it twice is just unbelievable. Let's hope it got the message this time mate!

Again, really happy for you and your family!

Absolutely brilliant news Skip.

There's a kid (she's 31, but they're all kids to me!) in my team who's going through this just now with her Mum. She's in bits - but (and I hope you won't mind) letting her know that there are good news stories out there too will give her such a huge boost.

Right, now you've dusted that bugger off, what's your plans for our defence? 

OK .

Now Ive got to something meaningful with my life.

Ive now gone back on this thread and I seriously intend to take a degree in White Dog sh*t.

 

Seriously : thanks everyone.
Its all quite surreal at the moment emotionally readjusting .

I'd start with just looking forward to Christmas with the family Skip, then take it from there.  If your battle has taught you anything, it should be to relish and enjoy the little things in life we normally take for granted

Made up for you mate. It's not nice seeing someone going through it, as it's such a horrible thing to be diagnosed with. A few family members I know have fought through as well and come out the other side after kicking the "big C's" ass, there are another few who unfortunately, whilst very strong just could not come out the other side.

Wishing you all the best wishes in the world, enjoy everything mate and cherish all your family and friends who've stood by you Skip.

You'll never walk alone.

Great news mate, I knew you had been ill, but never realized it was such a bad one. Fantastic that you have come through again.... keep up the good work.

Absolutely delighted for you and your family.

Trying to get back to reality .... its really strange.
