So it's stage 4 liver cancer.
Or more accurately colon cancer in the liver.
  3 months of chemo (infusion and tables) coming up every 2 weeks.

It was hard telling the kids but we know where we are now and the fight begins in a couple weeks

It is easy to say it but you do need to stay positive.  You will have some low days but you have to remember that people are supporting you all the way.  If you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm sure we are all here for that.  If you want to tell someone to fuck off, we can handle that too.

The same goes for you erimus.

Couldnt agree more Norman, as bad as the diagnosis may seem & it will be a massive blow & how you'll fight it head on, but believe me positivity is so, so important to not only your well being, but your loved ones too, without gatecrashing Kippers diagnosis, I attended Normans coffee club feeling a tad low & needed something away from my family & issues & believe me, when I walked in, with some of my memorabilia, I was nervous & even thought I shouldn't be there with what's inside of me but walked out feeling 10 feet tall, I never mentioned what I had but totally forgot my condition as we laughed, talked about Boro & other things it was something I needed so much.
Please dont think im over excaggerating what im saying & although I presently feel nauseous & missing my third if 4 home games I still feel bubbly, bouncing & even honoured that im walking in the same shoes as my brother & sisters

Very early one morning in JCH following my bowel Op I was sat up in the ward chair & as I stared at the 2 other patients in the room who were fast asleep I got upset just thinking of how far I have come, through all those meetings, biopsys, Ops, in such a short time & still have chemo to come, days like that will hit you, but I felt proud I had done it without upsetting anyone

Please keep strong kippers, please stay positive, even when you dont feel up to it, mindset is a big thing in helping yourself & your family cope over the coming months

Great post Gordon.

First I'm reading this thread. Good luck with your treatment Kippers, and to the others also going through their battle against shitty cancer.
