Good Luck John Hartson

[AlfredJPruffock]

Best of luck to all mentioned in this thread.

[edit] SB: Just did a quick google and it seems both started as testicular and metastesised (sp?) into the brain, so sounds similar. It all depends then on how agressive the particular cancer is.

It depends if the tumour is operable or not - if not then depnding on the type of cancer - you've got 6 months tops - my Father died at the age of 70 with brain cancer 4 months after the diagnosis - so its a topic I know sadly only too well.

Good luck and God Bless Hartson - although I fear the worse.

I take it that the male portion of the assembled congregation knows how to check their testicles for unusual lumps & bumps?

Good man Zeity. Thanks for broaching what is often not talked about or just causes giggling and sniggering.

I do. Check mine when I am relaxed in the bath.

Honestly, nah, wouldn't have a clue.

Obviously I scratch them every day, but actually fiddling about looking for strange lumps ... nope.

<serious answer for a change>Very honest. You should know though. Do you want some advice or will you google it.
