Quoted from MarinerMatt24
i've been keeping this to myself since may, only a few people like Alvingham Mariner and Wrawbz know this, and i DON'T want to repeat what i'm about to say...

because they found 3 tumours in my lungs and 2 around my stomach, it's pretty much terminal cancer now. now i could have chemo to make it easier for me, but i don't want that. so i intend to live my life for aslong as i can do now, i'm not sure how long i've got left to live and i don't plan to find out any time soon neither...

cheers for all the support in the last 6 months guys, it's been much appreciated...


Matt, i've seen your posts from an early stage, never commented, but hoped for the best for you and i'm horrified the way it seems to have turned out for you, i know it is easy for us all to sit here and tell you to fight it -its not that easy unfortunately, i lost my Dad to it, but they can prolong life for so much longer thes days now and none of us know what breakthrough is round the corner, keep fighting and be there to watch the mighty Mariners return to league football and beyond.
The very,very best of luck to you mate.

Hey Matt,
Guessed from your last post things were not good, but really did not want to hear this news, my thoughts are with you mate. You know my situation, not made it public on here, think only you and Wrawby know, but I'm in the same situation now. Was told I was terminal last July and had 12 months max. Had 2 ops, half my left lung and a third of the right removed last christmas, and things were looking fairly good. Still terminal, still gonna come back, but got more time. 1st June I went to Florida for 6 weeks, 18th I had to fly home as I could hardly breath. Turns out my left lung had collapsed. Scarborough hospital drained off 6ltrs of fluid but found a 4" tumour in my chest when they did an x ray. Spent a week in Jimmys in Leeds, been home this weekend but go back in Monday to begin chemo. 3 day treatment every 4 weeks for 6 months, not gonna be nice. Like you I did not want chemo, but I feel to well to be beaten just yet, still got things to do. I've been a biker all my life and have long hair and beard. My oncologist told me I will lose my hair and may look a bit strange, told him I've looked a tw*t all my life, not gonna start worrying now.
Only you know your own mind, there are some hard decisions and hard times ahead, make as much of time as possible, I'm sure you will. We will have a beer or 2 together this season, keep fighting Brother.
