Personal
Message from Paul (17/10/2006)
Dear All,
I would like to thank everyone for their support and help since I was
diagnosed with Cancer in 2004.
I would especially like to thank Egg, Umbleja, Dick Pexton, Wiggers and
the committee.
Special thanks to ED for his generocity in thinking of me at HIS
birthday do when he organised a raffle and passed the money to me
"for me to use for my family to go out, have fun or have a
meal".
Ed we used the money for a family night in with a Chinese Takeaway.
I am struggling with my left leg (the one I had cancer in) at the moment
and I cannot put any pressure on it at present. I am also having trouble
with my left eye, I cannot focus it and I have had to have a CT scan on
it. The eye is not the correct shape (it was before the cancer) and I am
having bad pains in it.
Thank you all again. I hope to see you at the next home game.
Paul

Many of the club
members will know Paul, a popular prop forward who played many times at all
levels for the club. Recently he was diagnosed with cancer and at this time
he is currently confined to a wheelchair. He is in constant pain and can no
longer walk, although so far this season, he has managed to attend most home
games.
He has
Plasmocytoma in his femur and Histiocytosis X in his body. He has undergone
radiotherapy, although the cancer has caused his femur to fracture, which has
now been pinned and bolted, but required a further operation in November.
He is scheduled to
undergo Chemotherapy in January.
The club are
supporting Paul in a number of ways and should anyone wish to pass on any
messages to Paul or give any donation, then please contact Simon
