Spade_Cooley 9,630 Posted March 30, 2012 Now this has been spun off, anyone wanna come up with a pun for the thread? "Stan Down"? "Throwing Petrov on the Fire"? "Halt: End"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted March 30, 2012 There must be something in the water at Celtic Park. Alan Stubbs fought testicular cancer in 2000, Tommy Burns succumbed to skin cancer in 2008, John Hartson was diagnosed with testicular cancer, which had spread to his brain, in 2009 and now Stan with leukemia. Perhaps I should consider a theme team of ex Celtic players for next years DDP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Flag 84 Posted March 31, 2012 Petrov confirms he will never play football again. Has been denied by his agent It all depends on the type of leukaemia he has. It's only been described as "acute leukaemia". That could mean a number of different things. Could easily be a very treatable form of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted March 31, 2012 Petrov confirms he will never play football again. Has been denied by his agent It all depends on the type of leukaemia he has. It's only been described as "acute leukaemia". That could mean a number of different things. Could easily be a very treatable form of it May I call attention to Dutch long distance swimmer Maarten van der Weijden. In 2001 he was diagnosed with acute lymphatic leukemia, whatever that may be. After chemotherapy and stem cell treatment (effectively killing and reconstituting his blood producing tissues) he was cured. In 2008 he won the 10 km open water marathon race in the Peking Olympics. He retired from competitive swimming in 2009 and is very much alive. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Flag 84 Posted November 27, 2012 Latest, including pics He doesn't great but doesn't look like he's about to snuff it either, so I guess his treatment must be going OK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_engineer 1,415 Posted April 17, 2013 http://www.dailymail...mia-battle.html Latest On Petrov. I can't really tell if he looks good or bad but he looks completely different . Bad he lost his hair side effect of chemo but face looks quite chubby. The cancer is in remission but we have heard that many times before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
