India news: Tumour kept Yuvraj Singh battling non-malignant tumour | India Cricket News | ESPN Cricinfo

Wow, I generally felt sick reading that. Hope he gets better

 

[morgieb]

The good news is that he will recover, though.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Crikey, hope he recovers fully and comes back ok.

 

[Furball]

So glad to read the words "non-malignant" in that report.

 

[Spark]

Wow that sucks. Best of wishes to him.

 

[Athlai]

So glad to read the words "non-malignant" in that report.

Yeah this. ^

Very glad to hear he'll be okay.

 

[NUFAN]

So glad to read the words "non-malignant" in that report.

Which means he doesn't have cancer, right?

All the best for him anyway.

 

[Burgey]

All the best to him.

Small point re the thread title.
If its non-malignant it isn't cancer, I think.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Hope he recovers soon.

This could explain his recent weight and fitness issues.

 

[Spark]

All the best to him.

Yeah that's correct. Still truly ****, but it's mercifully not cancer.

 

[Ruckus]

Yeah going by that report at least, if it is non-malignant he doesn't have cancer. Non-malignant is synonymous with benign. Although, confusingly, the report also says the tumour is a lymphoma. As far as I'm aware you can't have a benign lymphoma - lymphoma is cancer. So I think they might have got something wrong there.

My cousin got Hodgkins Lymphoma 2 years ago. He's mostly recovered now, but it stays with you in some form the rest of your life.

Terrifying illness really, if you take into account that he was 24, and the healthiest guy I know. Can happen to anyone, even a pro sportsman in the prime of their career

Best wishes to Yuvraj, good that its not too serious

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Best Wishes to Yuvraj and I hope he gets well soon.

"Lymphoma" came from initial reports only.

 

[Ruckus]

Ah yes, good point.

 

[Xuhaib]

waiting for Voltman to make his appearance in this thread.

 

[Jono]

Wow, awful to hear about this. Yuvi provided many good cricketing memories.

Hopefully he has a good recovery.

 

[Jacknife]

Scary ****, I wish the big lad well.

 

[Cevno]

Sad News.

Hopefully recovers soon.

Explains the unexplained lung infection which caused him to miss the WI tour too, i guess.
