Thank you everyone, your support is fantastic and very much appreciated, thank you all…


Tomorrow is the day I lose all my wee gnashers, yep, their getting ripped out of that hole in my face and leaving what can only described as a abyss, to say I’m a bit anxious is a understatement if I’m honest but you gotta do what you gotta do to stay alive, to let you understand, the treatment I’ll be having in a week or two is called ChemoRadiation…I’ll be having daily bouts of radiation for 30 days, Monday to Friday for six weeks, with occasional blasts of chemotherapy,

The radiation itself dries your mouth out and therefore your teeth, think Gobi  desert dry, I don’t have the healthiest of teeth and  the radiation can make them crumble and they can become infected, so remove the risk, henceforth no teeth no infection,  you really don’t want any kind of infection when your white blood cells are low, your immune system is severely weakened by the radiation, think how we were last season without Virgil, Joe, Joel, Hendo and Fabinho, this will be me in a few weeks, I believe my treatment will start on the 11th of October, so wish me well, I’ll see you on the other side.

Good luck Billy mate and I hope everything goes well.

All the best Billy, if your positivity about the reds is anything to go by then you're in a good place to beat this thing. Hope all goes well with your treatment.
