Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted October 23, 2018 Phone-posting but thread worthy. As noted in the wrestling thread, strangely defeatist tweets from everyone else backstage about this. Could well be a Drop 40er next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,477 Posted October 23, 2018 33 year old WWE world champ (x 4 or 5 times, I lose count) with relapsed cancer announced last night, for those scratching their heads. Dunno how serious it is - other than general leukemia relapse serious of course - , but yeah, Drop 40ing certainty if the situation turns out dire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strangely defeatist is right - Cena's tweet for example isn't something you'd expect given RR said he'd beat it again (in more colourful language of course) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,530 Posted October 23, 2018 Thoughts: 1) Usually a 33-year-old male in good physical shape should defeat leukaemia pretty easily 2) However, this is a recurrence. Is there any information out there yet on the specific form of cancer it is? 3) If you're a recovering cancer sufferrer, why the fuck would you go on HGH? I mean that's clearly what's caused this, right? 4) There's always one dead pool pick each year that's a big name celeb who nobody really bothered to pick because we all assumed it was a low form of cancer (I'm thinking Tito Villanova especially here). Could The Big Dog be next year's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Joey, note that Spade mentioned leukemia and then remember there are many different types of it, all with varying degrees of severity. It's wrestling. If it's bad, we'll find out, that lot are worse at poker faces than Theresa May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,726 Posted October 23, 2018 1 minute ago, Joey Russ said: The cancer he has is leukemia. Pretty certain Spade knows that as its in his first sentence. Sure what he means is what type of leukaemia? (oh just noticed this is another word Americans can't spell) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_engineer 1,415 Posted October 23, 2018 If I had to guess which leukemia he has it would be a chronic one.He talked about putting it into remission.Both chronic tyoes have 83% surivival rate after 5 years or more and you can live pretty much and normal life. But this is his 2nd Diagnosis and that's important as symptoms when you're in remission can be the same as if the leukemia has returned and can easily be dismissed, left to long chronic leukemia goes into the blast phase. There are two phases to leukemia chronic phase and blast phase. If you're on the blast phase your best hope is to get it back into the chronic phase.If treatment doesn't work in blast phase you literally have months to live. I do wonder if roman reigns has be diagnosed in the blast phase hence the defeatist attitude. If so and the treatment doesn't work he'll be and cert for next year. Acute myeloid (or myelogenous) leukemia (AML) Chronic myeloid (or myelogenous) leukemia (CML) Acute lymphocytic (or lymphoblastic) (ALL) Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/chronic-myeloid-leukaemia-cml/survival On a side note at 3.45 his words say one thing but his face/eyes say another.

charon 4,943 Posted October 23, 2018 Aye but Paul, you cannot take on the Wresting fans, even as an Admin. They're a "community" ffs. The "W" in LGBTPXBFPTW if they get their way.

MadMac 98 Posted November 16, 2018 Leukaemia comes in many forms. I know a fellow who’s well into his 70s who’s been living a normal life for many years with a mild form of it. He gets a testosterone injection periodically, which results in his dear wife, as she put it “having a little difficulty matching supply to demand” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_engineer 1,415 Posted November 25, 2018 First public appearance since publicly announcing his illness. Wearing a hat to hide hair loss no doubt ,a few grey hairs on his beard and don't know what others think but his face looks slightly off colour. Could be the cold though. https://mobile.twitter.com/GeorgiaTechFB/status/1066364776056594433?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1066364776056594433&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.express.co.uk%2Fsport%2Fwwe%2F1050079%2FRoman-Reigns-WWE-news-leukaemia-RAW-Broc k-Lesnar-Georgia-Tech Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
