Poor guy who started his season off with West Brom has been diagnosed with terminal Level 4 oesophageal cancer and given six months to love. Goram has declined chemotherapy which could give him a few months more to live as he does not want to be ill with the time he has left. A truly awful situation and he's only 58 FFS!
Thoughts are with him in this terrible time.
PS - my next post will hopefully have some cheer for 68!

Absolutely OM6 buddy. The older we become, sad situations such as this become more prevalent amongst our family and friends. I hope he, and his family and friends, obtain some comfort in knowing that many will be thinking of them.

The problem with chemotherapy is that it takes that much out of you so unfortunately he has made the right decision and cram in all he can with the time he has left

A mate of mine from my Dunlop days went out with Andy’s first ex wife Jacquie.
Lovely girl was Jacquie but she has a hard time with Andy during their marriage as he was on the lash so much of the time and had an eye for the ladies.
My mate always said he was no trouble though and still very generous with Jacquie and they remained good friends, more like mates than ex partners.
He’s been a serious alcoholic for a long time though and it’s perhaps no surprise that this evil disease is the one that will take him.
A brave decision though and I admire him for it.

My dad died from this particular cancer. He was 49. It is one of the most virulant cancers and successful treatment and recovery is very rare. His brother also died of the same thing. You are effectively starving to death as you cannot get any food down and end up being fed through a tube into the stomach. Fu**ing horrible way to go and a horrible situation for love ones to have to witness.
