Choco Williams - Diagnosed with Lymphoma

[kozi]

Message to the MODS, can we as a board contact RFC official & send our collective well wishes to Mark Williams & let him know our thoughts are with him...

Make this happen! Get well soon Choco.

 

[Doss]

Best wishes to Choco- let's just hope they got it early.

Cancer is quite close to home for me at the moment. My mother is still waiting for results but there's some suspicion she has leukaemia. All you can do is cross everything and hope for the best.

The numbers are very encouraging with lymphoma, at least.

Best wishes in the treatment if this. A great football person from a great football family. All the best.

More likely non Hodgkin's lymphoma at his age. I am same age as him and had it last year. Fully recovered now and I am sure Choco will fight through it

That's the same one i had.
When i was diagnosed the doctor said that if you had to choose a cancer this would be the one due to its high survival rate.

Best of luck to choco, hope it was detected early and he makes a quick and speedy recovery

 

[GROTTO]

Very sad this has happened to Choco. He and his family are part of SA footy royalty. I always liked him, even though he coached the enemy for a long time.

Get well soon, you still have plenty to offer.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

A tough journey ahead. Best of luck to mark and his family

That's really sad I back him to beat though

 

[kozi]

Hope he's keeping it positive right now. I have no doubt that he'll get through it and be fine in the end.

Well done mate.

 

[PAFC forever]

Terrible news guys. If anyone can beat this terrible disease it would be Choco, he doesn't give up without a fight. Hopefully it has been discovered early on and he will pull through ok!

 

[Frank Grimes]

I wish Choco all the best. Hopefully he has found out about it early and gets well soon.

Best wishes and a quick recovery Choco.

Shocked but he is fighter and a champion...

 

[TigerImposter]

Best wishes Chocco just like your career was often a fight and struggle you always toughed it out and were often successful you will do the same
God bless you and your family and i hope he gives you the extra strength and will to overcome this terrible disease

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Get well soon Chocco! Best wishes.

 

[GROTTO]

Shocked but he is fighter and a champion...

A fighter indeed, abused and hassled for his finals fadeout before 04, then in 04 gave us his infamous tie pull after the siren in the grand final, surely his most sweetest moment in his footy career. Must fight on, the AFL and more importantly his family need him.

That is shocking news for Choco and his family. I wish him the best of luck in his recovery. He has the Richmond Football Club and their supporters backing him all the way.

He has everyone behind him, mate.

Cancer is one of those things- it transcends all boundaries. It's common enough that we've all been touched by it at some point. Some of us have had it/have it ourselves, others have family and/or friends affected it by it; and more of us, if we haven't already, will have someone we know affected by it at some point. Or get it ourselves.

Everyone has their fingers and toes crossed for him.

 

[AM]

Sad news. Best wishes for a speedy return to good health Choco.

As Dan Richardson said, I'm sure you guys will be with him every step of the way during his treatment.

 

[theflea]

Get well Choco, we're all behind you.

 

[WATiger86]

Best wishes to Chocco and family.

I know, this sort of news can cause many of us to question our life's priorities. But there was no real mention of Chocco taking time off. No doubt if he needs it, he will. But my point is. Sometimes in our lives there are those who will show us things through their actions. I also think it will help Mark by having some routine (Normality?) at this time. What I'm trying to say is He (Mark) will walk the walk & that will show our boys an incredible thing.. I say this because I was inspired by him as one of his students in High School....

(I hope it's not too soon to say this ?)
