After a brilliant year of self discovery and recovery I have more work to do. My friend & tough taskmaster Lymphoma is back to teach me.
6:12 AM - 17 Sep 2014

Elegantly put by the ATG batsman.

Not good news - sincerely hope he shrugs it off again

Slightly perplexed by the belief that touring the sub-continent was the cause, albeit indirectly - I wonder whether there is any scientific basis for that

 

[YorksLanka]

what a shame..good luck and prayers for him to get over it again..

I think that bit of the article is phrased rather badly. He believes that the salmonella poisoning and glandular fever weakened his immune system (which does make him more susceptible to Lymphoma). The Sub-Continent is just where he happened to be at the time.
Having said that there did used to be much paranoia about certain parts of the World. Geoff Boycott for example didn't tour India in the early 70's because he believed not having a spleen made him more likely to suffer ill-health in that part of the World.

Sorry to hear this news. Hope he recovers soon.

 

[smash84]

Get well soon

News sucks, hope he wins the fight.

Would hate the mental side of getting cancer as much as the physical side of it.

10 months ago, my 90 yo Dad was diagnosed with colon cancer on a Thursday and operated upon on the Monday

Despite the fact that he is not a normal guy of his age, the specialist later said that they would never have opened him up if they knew what was inside

I speak to him everyday and everyday he tells me that he will beat it

Yesterday the docs gave him the all clear, so I asked "what now?"

"I'll beat the cancer in the liver and prostate as well"

He is the strongest person I know but it will wear anybody down and I'm just glad that he is 91 not younger

That's an incredible story thanks for sharing that Social.

Like I said you need determination to beat the cancer to put up with the treatment rather than just curling up in a ball and giving up. Also there is a belief that if you maintain a positive outlook you have a better chance of beating it. So that also must test you on down days e.g. "I need to pick myself up here".

My ex wife has cancer - she is still my friend so I sent her some good will messages. It was really difficult as she was really picky over the words that I used as she wants to control her mental state. After a while each email I sent to her was a master piece that took a long time to construct.

My sympathies mate

Everyone is different

He is aware of his mortality so I can say whatever I want/feel

Dad is driven by the fact Mum isn't well (she's 85) and should probably be in a home but he will never let that happen whilst he is breathing

Horrible disease and side-effects from the treatment (e.g. chemo effects the nerve endings and there are days when he cant put his feet on the floor)

Not sounding quite so good for Crowe this time, it seems: Cricket star Crowe seriously ill - National - NZ Herald News

 

[weldone]

not good news

Come on Martin Crowe

 

[Bahnz]

I don't like the fact that he's declining chemo. I hope Crowe isn't relying on positive thinking to pull him through this.

 

[Flem274*]

yeah when i read he isn't going for chemo i wondered why.

the guy who painted my flat a few years ago never wore a mask when he was sanding old paint off. i was having a yarn to him and he told me he got lung cancer a while back but he got better after he changed his diet.

im not sure how he's still alive.

 

[Bahnz]

Darwin would weep.

 

[Blocky]

I wouldn't trust everything you read in the newspapers.
