Youwanticewiththat 611 Posted November 24, 2016 Appearance from the 31st October 2016. Looks well enough but visibly much thinner! Did you rule out medicine at an early age Shaun? What I meant is that he doesnt look particular unwell here.Slightly craggier voice and clearly lost a good stone or two but if I didnt know he was so ill I wouldnt have guessed.I mean he looks better than Robin Gibb did when he was a few months from death. Ah Gibb Vs Megrahi, those were the days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted November 26, 2016 I worked with him many many times back in the day. While his writing can be sarky and mean, I always found him very very nice indeed. Terribly dyslexic you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,322 Posted December 1, 2016 Could a nasogastric tube be used to stop sickness through chemo or is it more likely that the cancer is blocking his throat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted December 1, 2016 Could a nasogastric tube be used to stop sickness through chemo or is it more likely that the cancer is blocking his throat? He has terminal cancer, its probable ( and, unfortunately, I know from personal experience ) that there will be a stage where he will not be able to eat solids and, eventually, he will not be able to swallow even a drink through a straw. Any chemo will be given to make him more comfortable and limit the pain he is or will be in, it wont be to rid him of cancer. Is it certain that he is actually having chemo or is he actually having Radiotherapy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,322 Posted December 1, 2016 I remember when my uncle died from lung cancer he ate very little and was bedridden and was on oxygen most of the time but still had the mechanism to swallow liquidized food like soup custard and yoghurts until he lost consciousness shortly before he died and that lasted 5 months although he was given 2 weeks when diagnosed as the cancer was so very advanced and had been missed for months prior to that.His like Gills was related to smoking but he was 87 which may have enabled him to live longer as the cell division rate decreases with age.
