Chopped Liver 53 Posted May 15, 2017 21 hours ago, LilyForrester said: https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2017/0512/874691-gay-byrne/ Says his cancer treatment is 'going fine'. I think he'll survive the year. Agree with you there. Gaybo's a hardy old soul, and it'll take a lot to kill him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of my grandfather's (he of the liver cancer, whisky) bits of advice: "When you're ill, you live or die. If you live, don't worry. If you die, you go to Heaven or Hell (he was religious). Heaven? Don't worry. Hell? That's where all your old friends will be so don't worry either!" 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alea Icta Est 0 Posted August 19, 2017 Uncle Gaybo as he is affectionately known would be in his own words "excira and delira" to be on this eminent list of celebrities given that his nemesis Sir Terry had such a successful UK broadcasting career and poor auld Gaybo is barely known across the Irish Sea. When he was with Granada TV in the 60's he was the first person to interview the Beatles. It's time me to say goodbye, Gay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While that's not impossible, IMHO there's a high chance that Gay Bryne wouldn't expire before January 2018. Yes, the pills weren't effective enough so he's been moved to IV chemotherapy that is quite unpleasant and probably means that he's unlikely to get cured, but if things were completely hopeless, we'd read about him giving up life-extending treatment and being moved to a hospice facility.

Oh I don't think Bryne is in much danger this side of Hogmanay, no. Talking in general terms above, not the specific case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
