Sorry about this

[Alan Taylor]

Hi all,

sorry to bore you guys with this but I have been getting a few emails and thought it better to clear the air.

 

3 weeks ago I went in for my 7th Chemo and last week for a bronchoscope (sp), today I had the results.

The pictures taken through the tube were great but he would not let me borrow them the bad news is that they very clearly showed 2 active tumours.

I get one more Chemo on the 29th of April and that is it. If it works then treatment will continue,he was not optimistic, if not then it is only a matter of time

In the morning I get my mobile and home base oxygen outfits, just need some live sandeels now

Davy, I will be bringing loads of spare air so no worries there mate

I am going to look a bit of a plonker wearing tubes and a bottle to work on Friday

 

Thats about it except to say that there is STILL a chance AND I will still be fishing

 

Now there is an idea, some one posted about using baloons for getting baits out long distances from the beach.........Air paid for by the insurance company.......love it.

 

Sorry again.

 

Alan

Best wishes to Sonja and yourself.

Fingers crossed that everything will be ok

Hi Alan,

Hope it all goes well on the 29th, I for one will be keeping every possible thing crossed for you.... And keep fishing and smiling

[SandTiger]

Keep going and I'm thinking about you.

Sorry to hear the news, Alan, best of luck from both Peggy and me.

I'm finding out for myself Alan about this cancer business, not very nice is it! Me, like a silly burger, thought that once my kidney was out, that was it. Far from it! The rest of it has only just started.

What's the difference between Alan Taylor and a battery? Yes! A battery has a negative side.

Walk tall mate, I may have to travel in your footsteps soon. Good luck!
