Evil Grimace 359 Posted August 10, 2023 9 hours ago, gcreptile said: He fell at home: https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/jonnie-irwin-shares-injury-picture-8666984 Doesnt seem that dramatic but one could read some stuff into it. From the article: "Irwin is reportedly undergoing traditional cancer-blocking drugs as well as trialling alternative therapies including infusions of vitamin C, a cocktail of daily vitamins, a strict diet and treatment in an oxygen chamber." With the vitamin C and cocktail of daily vitamins he's embracing the medically unproven idea that megadoses of vitamin C can fight cancer. I've yet to see any peer reviewed or meta analysis that shows it is effective in fighting cancer. The legacy of medical hacks like Irwin Stone who had the support of Nobel laureate Linus Pauling (the originator of megadoses of vitamin C) does little else but offer false hope and cold comfort. The cocktail of vitamins has another issue of the fat versus water soluble vitamins. He's already weakened by cancer, so if in excess, the fat soluble vitamins could strain his organs, especially his liver and kidneys leading to hypertension, raise his calcium blood levels and risk heart failure. I will say this, he's making some expensive urine. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A joker performance if ever I saw one. He might be the Christmas present several respectable DDP performers are looking for! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,972 Posted September 18, 2023 He's waiting for a scan update as the cancer is "on the move" again: https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/jonnie-irwin-says-cancer-on-8759297 Recent updates showed a tiny bit of a decline. I guess things could go south very fast if the lungs stop working. Sounds terrible, but then you'll want to end things. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Grimace 359 Posted January 16 In continuing the trend of selling all the moments/feels (thanks @drol - this description is perfect) and a true joker performance @maryportfuncity (~50 teams jokered him of 166 for the 2024 DDP), yet another article with a health update with nothing of value. Jonnie Irwin urged 'keep fighting' as he issues fresh terminal cancer update Here's the 'I'm not clicking on that link' summary: - link of an interview he did with a carer who's helped him who also has a book - the article itself is just a collection of comments from people who listened to the interview 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,638 Posted January 26 18 minutes ago, The Daredevil said: In hospital, hasn't slept for six nights Shouldn’t be too close to death then as ppl near the end days of cancer battles are knocked out all the time.
