That's a shitter!
Bet he'd made all kinds of plans to enjoy life after work with family and friends.
My father in law was a keen cyclists and walker. The day after he retired he had an aneurysm and had to have a leg amputated.
Enjoy it while you've got it, life's short! |

I was just reading about it... so sad.
I have to wonder if Id want to know in his position? They have estimated he has around 10years to live.
Imagine living with that knowledge all that time.
Of course if it was a year or two Id want to know to make sure I had everything in order (delete fab account, hide porn stash, dispose of toys  ) but TEN years is an awfully long time to know you are dying when in actual fact he could just go on living blissfully unaware and not have the stress.
I would reiterate, as has been said, gents, don't neglect your danglies... get checked.
Mens health always seems to come a poor second to womens where cancer is concerned.
It shouldn't.

There is hope though, cancer treatment is improving all the time. My sister in law has terminal lung cancer, she was given 18months, five years ago. It was in several organs and bones. She is on a fantastic drug, treated at Royal Marsden hospital. The only cancer they can no find, is the primary tumour, which is contained  |

"It isn't his danglies, it is prostrate cancer
Agreed...but it's also spread to his bones which is not good  "
So it seems yes and the symptoms being pain in the pelvic area and legs. So all you men out there, there is the early symptoms before it gets to that stage on the above link.  |

She's great. She has 'owned' her cancer, done lots of research. Diet is important, as some food types, feed cancer. Her son in law is a nutritionist in Australia and advised her what to eat. Mainly plant based is good! |

"This made me cry watching him on bake off last night. My dads going through this at the moment. "
Big hugs x
my dad is hopefully at the end of his treatment for non hodgkins lymphoma. He didn't tell anyone other than his wife until a week before his treatment started because he wanted to process the news and have as many answers as possible for us when he did tell us. Seeing Bill describe how he felt dealing with the diagnosis just made me think how my dad must have felt but he did it virtually on his own |

It felt strange watching him on bake off, knowing it was filmed before his diagnosis and, knowing that while watching, I knew something about him like that, that he didn't.
Heart breaking to hear him speak at the end.
It always seems to happen to the nice ones! |

Good point Mistress, but some people enjoy their work and want to continue. My sis in law, loves her job as a lab technician, in a college and she just wants to keep her life 'normal' |

"Good news, he was back on the other side today (GMTV) with his old sidekick Susanna Reid.
A good day for ITV.
Piers? Piers who?
Aaw brilliant! "
Bet he spent the rest of the day being pestered by Susanna to make it a regular thing...say, 5 days a week. |
