Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 18, 2019 Gonna grab TWO names for the price of one. A Labor MP sworn into federal parliament just two weeks ago has vowed to fight on after discovering her cancer had returned. Peta Murphy, who won the Melbourne seat of Dunkley at the May 18 election, received the unexpected news last week that the cancer was back after five years in the clear. "While this has come as a shock, my doctor advises me that my condition is treatable and that he expects me to do well with treatment, which I will start in the coming weeks," Ms Murphy said on Thursday. Liberal senator Arthur Sinodinos, who survived a battle with cancer, was among the first to wish her well. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC It always seems so prematurely optimistic when statements such as "X survived a battle with cancer"/"X has been declared cancer-free" are made - especially when it hasn't even been 5 years since their diagnosis. Even if you survive that long, it hasn't necessarily been cured. I've known two people in real life who died of their cancer 15+ years after it was first diagnosed (the same type of cancer), despite long periods of remission and apparently 'successful' treatment in between (one died 18 years later; the other, 21 years later).

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted October 11, 2019 Former Tasmanian politician and AFL advocate John Bennett has died, aged 77. Mr Bennett was Tasmania's attorney-general from 1986 to 1989 and a member of the state Liberal Party. He earned the nickname "Bull Bars" for his controversial views and opinions, and was also the president of the Tasmanian Australian National Football League in the 1980s. Mr Bennett passed away yesterday after a long battle with illness. This is the second John Bennett in the DL archives. Some guy in 2015. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted October 12, 2019 On 26/02/2019 at 23:17, Sir Creep said: Australian rockstar John Farnham has been rushed to hospital, forcing him to postpone his upcoming New Zealand shows. The 69-year-old was scheduled to open for the Eagles in Dunedin on Saturday, before performing his own shows in Wellington and Auckland next week. But it has now been revealed the legendary singer has been hospitalised with a severe infection after having minor surgery two weeks ago. SC Updating: He suffered a severe health scare earlier this year that forced him to cancel several shows. Now John Farnham has opened up about the ordeal. Speaking to the Herald Sun, the iconic Australian singer who recently turned 70, spoke candidly about the incident. "I had a severe kidney infection, I was very dehydrated."
