Alan, so pleased to hear your positive attitude - keep fighting mate, and you will soon be fishing again.

 

You may be amused to know that down here in Madeira, Norma won the toss for "first strike" and got a 40 lb wahoo. There wasn´t a second strike so that was the only fish of the day. Since then, two trips cancelled due to gales, and more gales to come. Could be the only fish of the trip.

 

Will be back here next summer for the marlin tho´ and we hope to persuade you and Sonja to join us.

Thinking of you often.

Just spoke to Alan on the ham bone....He sounds VERY chirpy indeed and we had a good laugh together, anyway, he asked me to let everyone know, he had the results of his tests today, and he starts his Chemo tomorrow... Absolutely great news. I told him I will probobly never get that rod off him now......

Alan, I have only just read this, I am sorry my thoughts for you are so late in coming.

 

We have had 3 of Matthews family fighting cancer this year. His grandmother lost her battle last month, his stepmother is still undergoing treatment but his 3 yr old cousin is in remission.

 

I really hope that you will be soon as well. Our thought & prayers are with you both at this difficult time.

 

Don't let it beat you.

 

love

Alan, I think many of us have lost loved ones to Cancer, and so all the very best to you and yours. Don't forget that, as you appear to be doing anyway, a positive mental attitude is helpful. Good luck, mate.

ve to watch out for a while for bleeding so fishing is not too good an idea for a few days.

 

Next Chemo in 3 weeks and I was told that I have "at least a couple of more years in me yet" Sorry Norrie

 

Food and rest for a few days then up and at em.

 

Thank you all once again for your support and good wishes over tha past 14 days.

 

If any of you out there have as similar problem or close ones that have and you need to get mad or a shoulder to cry on and .......well just email me in confidence.....just for a chat.

 

Tight lines.

 

Alan
