Playon, that is such devasting news. You can see by the responses to your post, that your Saintsational 'family' want to surround and help you in anyway we can to ease your burden. My thoughts go out to you and your family on the battle you have before you. Try to stay positive dear Playon, believe in your courage to fight this disease. xxxx

Devastating news, Playon. I've got you in my thoughts and am hopeful that somehow, someway, you recover. The whole forum is behind you. Surround yourself with your loved ones and positive people. All the best, mate.

It ain't over til the fat lady sings. So give it all you've got, and then some.

All the best.

Thanks for all the well wishes and support, You guys/gals are the best. Be assured I've read each one many times over, I tried to reply while I wan hospital but I deleted it 3 times by accident and gave up, thought it best to wait until I have a keyboard. I was never expecting this much support and always brings a tear to my eyes when I read it, so I thank each and everyone of you for you generosity.

Basically I was released from hospital after all the tests I did because there is no treatment for me. So sent home to die I guess. I was hoping to get into a trial of new drugs similar to what Roughhead did, but apparently I'm too far gone. I guess they dont want people that are too sick as theyre after funding and wouldnt look good if they have too many people die. ( no government funding )

If anything my new prognosis is 6-9 months, so now I have enough time to beat it by myself.

While I was in hospital Jake Carlsile and Ed Phillips visited my sons grade at school for the footy clinic, I was a little disappointed not to be there as I usually volunteer on those days and help with his cooking class, But he got me their signatures, I was proud of him for being so thoughtful.

But today being my first free day, took the kids out of school and went for a walk around Seaford, I bumped in Richo and Finnis and had a quick chat to them, basically it made my day.

Mate, you are the king - and deserve to be looked after like a king for the rest of this year at least. We are all with you on your journey - in our thoughts and best wishes.

Good luck seems a trivial thing to with for, but I genuinely hope you get some. So much of it comes down to this.

Make sure you stick around for a flag (or two).
The same from me. Best of wishes and hope you beat it.

At first glance I thought this thread was referring to a looming comeback by Dimetriou.

Alas your story is even worse.

Glad to hear you have bought yourself some more time.
Every day is precious.

Play-on Playon!

Let's all barrack even harder for the Saints. The very least that any of us can do, is our very, very best, to ensure that our club has a season worthy of the support of playon!

Playon , get on the Iscador therapy. We are far behind in this country. 50% of cancer patients in Germany receive this therapy. Give it a go brother!

And the last thing you probably need is recommendations from the forum (so please forgive me), but AHCC is big in Japan and is well researched.

I heard this totally s*** news from someone else so popped in to say you can fight this f****** horrible disease mate
Theres is much proof in the ability of positive prayer and positive thinking.
Never give up mate
Never





Its times like this when petty stupid little things in your own life become nothing.
Perspective gets me everytime

Love to you and your whole family, but you've gotta be strong and fight!!!!
