Hello fellow managers,

I received a hugely distressing piece of personal news today. After suffering a complete failure of the use of my right arm, I have just been diagnosed with brain cancer. There is no estimate of how long I have got left yet, as I need a biopsy to determine the precise type of cancer. Hopefully it will be a reasonable length of time, but I will keep playing until the end.

I guess it will be apparent when that it has beaten me when I leave and never return. Hopefully I still have plenty of seasons in me, but I have no idea really.

That's really awful news Davo. 

I can only hope and pray that it's not aggressive and not very advanced and that it can be treated and/or managed successfully. 

I would very much welcome a PM from you if you would like to chat.

Bloody hell Davo I'm sorry to hear this. I'm totally lost for words.

Medical science has made incredible strides and cancer is not always the death sentence it used to be mate. I'm hoping for some positive news when you get further diagnosis.

I believe you're one of the Sunday League original gangsters that came across here when we left that game right?

My goodness, so sorry to hear about this, Davo. Just hoping and praying that the news will be good in the end and that it's going to be treatable. Take care, mate.

I'm shocked to hear this Davo, really don't know what to say... I'm wishing you all the best in the difficult times to come, for you and also your family and friends.... And of course hoping you can beat this thing! Take care.

At a complete loss of words.

I sincerely hope that you can beat this menace. May good fortune shine upon you once again.

Kalle >> četvrtak veljača 24 - 09:26

I have no words for it Davo. I wish you all the strength, love, care and luck in the world!

Taavi >> četvrtak veljača 24 - 09:52

You will get through this!

Thanks everyone. It means a lot to read your comments.

LosPelocos >> četvrtak veljača 24 - 12:23

You'll be healthy soon!

I hope he is fine but as I see long time he is offline.

Numpty >> petak lipanj 30 - 09:14

I have chatted with Davo about his illness occasionally via PM. Although I think it's been a few months since the last message. 

I don't have a lot of detail but it's not good news I'm afraid. I can only hope and pray that this is just a short term blip while he's having treatment and he will return at some point. But I fear the worst. 

As far as I know the cancer is not curable and any treatable is likely to be palliative.

I believe that the depressing reality is he will continue to deteriorate and it's just a matter of time.  The timescales are probably not going to be years. Fortunately he has a good family support network. 

Numpty >> petak lipanj 30 - 09:39

Just to add that I'm very reluctant to share what Davo has told me in private about his illness.  Especially on a public forum. 

But given the nature of the illness if anyone wants a bit more info then please feel free to send me a PM.

How could anyone be so cruel. The man has a terminal illness.

That is easily the sickest post you've ever made. If it was up to me I'd give you a straight ban from the whole game. 

You really are a shit!
