Yer men Lamb and Conway have bed-blocked on my teams over the years, proving so disappointing I've dropped them over the last couple of years - the only consolation being another Lamb(alike) will doubtless step (sorry, I meant roll) up to replace him.

Sophie Sabbage had her 5th round of radiotherapy: https://www.cancerwhispering.com/blog/more-myself-by-being-less-myself Her situation is "stable" with four brain tumours. Well, she's had 60-70 brain tumours so far (!!!!). It impairs her brain functions, but far less than the doctors thought it would. I think it's acutally quite incredible. Sophie Sabbage died around 1 October: Apparently Zoe Ball mentioned her on Pause for Thought. Need I say - a DDP Pick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, she was the Honourable Sophie Ankaret-Edwards (subsequently Sabbage) as named in the British Peerage Guide, due to her Tory Cabinet minister father (and well connected grandfather) - so an upper class version of the cancer book writer. Anyhow, the last sentence surely suggests a QO for Jellydead at some point, I'd assume. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,963 Posted October 5, 2021 She would have been in my orbit for the next year. Her final blog post - already a couple of months old - was very foreshadowing. We are kind of running out of those "well-established" cancer campaigners though, aren't we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,953 Posted October 19, 2021 I long felt she would prevent my 2018 DDP team from seeing a clean sweep until the 2050s or so, and unlike the Ryan Buells of the world was hoping she'd prove me right.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 27, 2022 On 29/05/2018 at 08:14, maryportfuncity said: Tiffany Youngs - popular(ish) pick hereabouts - is in The Sun today crediting a radical combi of starvation diet, cannabis oil and general cleaning up of her food intake for sending her terminal cancer into remission. That said, she's saying great things and feeling good - no medical expert is quoted as saying she's better Well maybe her time is running out. Former England and British & Irish Lions hooker Tom Youngs has confirmed his retirement from professional rugby with immediate effect. Youngs' club Leicester confirmed earlier this season the 35-year-old had taken indefinite leave from the Tigers to care for his wife Tiffany Youngs who is battling illness. Youngs' wife was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2014 and three years later, was told her illness would be terminal. In 2018, she then heard she was in a state of remission.
