I am infrequent poster but have mentioned on other threads about my diagnosis with testicular cancer in 2008. Well, after surgery, chemotherapy and a few bumps in the road along the way I was delivered the news today that I am fully cancer free, out of remission and have been discharged from oncology. It feels bloody good to write that!
I know others on this forum have experienced the big c themselves or lost loved ones to the disease so I hope nobody minds my public display of joy. I am not an overtly emotional person, far from it in fact; but I will admit to shedding a few tears this afternoon.
I will be there on sunday as always willing our boys on with all the gusto I can offer but know in my heart of hearts that I have already achieved my best result of the season.
Right....time for a beer I think!!

there are some things in life more important than football
all the best Lincs.
Wishing you the best of health from now on.
we thought that the Lass's cancer had returned last month but we got the scan results yesterday and she is clear - phew, know how it feels.
As Someone who's been affected one way or another by this horrible disease its always nice to hear somebody beat the bastard.
There can be few families not to have been touched by this awful disease at some point.
And really pleased for Lincs too.
Goodluck to everyone this horrible disease hits
Think that was the last time I shed a tear when I was discharged. Was walking out of the clinic and the Doc who'd been there from the very start said ''Have a nice life'' and that was me gone.
I remember your excellent piece when we won the league.

So far this year I've lost family, former football teammates, former school friends to cancer, and had a (fortunately unfounded) little scare myself. Hearing of people you know die of cancer in their mid 30s is plain frightening.
Evil disease.
