    P.S. According to one site, it's one of the few ailments that might benefit from phlebotomy (bleeding). If his doctor was a Blackadder fan maybe he considered - a course of leeches!
    They've been taking a pint a week off him since December.

    I've thought about leeches too. For their anti-coagulant properties though.

      Churchy, all the best to you and your brother mate.
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        After things were sorted he told me he'd been diagnosed with "Polycythaemia vera". He's never been ill in his life and this happens!

        He's only 39 FFS!

        Anyway, he got his results today and starts chemotherapy tomorrow! So I'm taking Friday off to get right royally pissed with him in Manchester!

        Might see some of you there!

        Sorry to hear that Churchill. Best wishes and hope he recovers well enough for you to make the piss-ups a regular occurrence in years to come.
