The Old Crem 3,129 Posted January 13, 2023 It’s prostate cancer. The article says so. He was diagnosed at 58 and underwent radiotherapy and hormone treatment and was initially told he had a more than 80% of being cured but a routine scan two years later showed it had spread to his bones including his spine and neck and also his pelvic lymph nodes. He has had five or so types of chemotherapy. He had a treatment recently of being injected with nuclear fluid but it was unsuccessful. He is currently on hormone treatment. His exact words are ‘I shall probably not celebrate my 80th birthday. I doubt the treatments will be good to keep me to [a lifespan] I would otherwise have had but they are keeping me alive at the moment, and probably will for quite a long time to come.’ He has written a memoir which is being published soon and found out recently his obituary has been prepared (Doesn’t say by who. The BBC. The Telegraph?) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
