Deathrace 1,096 Posted August 25, 2022 Tweet this morning from his wife Sian Harries is very worrying for those of us who are fans: "Moved house for the third time today since July so Rhod can be close to hospital. Life is a lot at the moment but we’re getting through it with the help of our wonderful friends and family." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,758 Posted December 10, 2022 11 hours ago, openviews said: Rhod Gilbert interview, confirms stage 4 cancer but ‘feeling positive’. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-63921611 Jimmy Carr brought this up on The Last Leg last night. Gilbert is too ill to promote his own book, but that his friends are "hopeful" he'll recover soon. Which wasn't very promising. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, she's not survived it, just survived with it. For now. But to answer Crem, John Hartson had quite late stage Stage IV testicular cancer in 2009-2010 and was able to make a full recovery. Depends where it is, when it is diagnosed, and pot luck tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Testicular cancer is the one cancer that Stage Four doesn’t mean terminal. Through living years with terminal breast cancer is not that unusual. Same with Prostate cancer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
