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.

I am sorry to hear about Gerry, gosh I don't know what to say as I did know about the boewel problem but after reading your post about the doctors found a lump.

 

Please give my regards to Gerry as I do not have his number or address.

 

I will keep my fingers cross for him and will hope to see him back on the river bank where he belongs!

PS. if anyone wants phone or hospital details for Gerry please pm me.

If I can just add to that my own greetings! I had not known about this but as many would sincerely like to see the old bugger back, no sweat!!

[Brian Carragher]

I know that from time to time Gerry logs in from seeing the member names at the bottom of the page so I hope he gets the chance to see this topic before it disappears

 

Good luck in your health Gerry and keep your spirit up and a positive frame of mind for the weeks to come. I've said it before so i don't mind saying it again, this place works better with you onboard than without your input, so get well soon and best of luck
