Trevor Salmon, Josie & I went to see Gerry on Saturday and although he was looking none too well, having lost a hellava lot of weight since I saw him last - he was quite confident that he was over the worst & looking to be back home in a few weeks.

Unfortunately, Trevor received a call from him yesterday to let us know the current situation.

It seems that when he had the last operation, a small lump was discovered inside his bowel.

As a matter of course the surgeon took a sample for biopsy - the results show that this lump is malignant, It's treatable (they're gonna try to shrink it) but Gerry's a long way from being out of the wood yet.

Trevor said that he's in good spirits but I'm sure that Gerry would appreciate any visits or phone calls.

Keeping fingers firmly crossed.
