Robbie Gray

[jackster83]

That's such terrible news.

I hope they've caught it early enough that he makes a full recovery and is able to get on with what he does best.

Fingers firmly crossed for a positive outcome. Thoughts go out to Robbie and his family.

Very sad news, I wish him all the very best with the recovery

Best wishes to Robbie and his family. Hopefully they got it in time. Get well soon Champ.

This will probably be the second story on CH 7 news tonight after the breaking news of Tex Walkers cold...

I'll just cut and paste what I wrote on our board.

"He's getting a short course of chemo too - that could well be career ending. I had a short course of chemo early last year and there is a side affect for a a good percentage of people. It stuffed the nerves in my hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy). It improved 50% after a year, but I can't really run anymore. Otherwise the reason I got it is gone, so that's good

The first dose is the worst. After that it was ok, but it's different for everyone, and there are different drugs.
Wish him all the best."

Doctors didn't tell me about that possible side effect - or it was on a long list on a form they get you to sign. I only found out about it when after a few months my feet and hands started to go numb.
Hopefully Robbie has a good look at the stats on that particular one as it would be the end of his footballing. Though if he really needs it, that is small bananas.

Anyway just thought I'd add this in to you guys in case someone knows him and can make sure he is aware.

"...into the path of Robbie Gray. He's a superstar for the Power. He goes long, has it got the legs? Yes! Robbie Gray's kicked a big goal and the Power are on the cusp of a great victory."

I could never get sick of hearing that ever he's just an absolute champ!

Hope everything is looking good for you.

A basketball player in the NBA player named Nene caught testicular cancer through over 1/3rd of the NBA season and missed the entire season to recover from it. He played every game the season after though (and many more seasons after that).

What's for certain though is that everyone's body responds differently.

With Gray I do expect there will be moments next season where he will not look right.

All the best Robbie, hope things work out for you.

 

[Flash of power]

If his character and performance on the football field is anything to go by that cancer should be very scared.

All the best champ, you have the power on your side.

 

[Footypie32]

All the best to Robbie. Terrible news.

 

[Northalives]

Terrible news but Robbie will overcome this. All the best.

 

[Stiubhart]

[Garibaldi Red]

There have been numerous well wishers on Twitter, most notably from our biggest rivals Adelaide and Norwood.

Fantastic to see.

Yes this 'short course of chemo' could still be very taxing on him physically and emotionally All the best to you Robbie.

 

[Garth Vader]

Sorry to intrude. Just heard the news. Wish Robbie a very speedy recovery. One of the my favourite players.

 

[PAFC66]

Did Hogan have a short course?

 

[Monocle]

Just go home from work and read the terrible news.

Wish him all the very best for a speedy recovery.
Fingers crossed for Robbie.

Puts things into perspective, good health, much more important that the game we love and follow.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Did Hogan have a short course?

Yes

 

[Crom]

All the best to Robbie.. **** Cancer.

 

[Tredz]

A true champion of the game - wishing him a fully and speedy recovery.

[Kickpuncher]

He'll have a great support group around him while dealing with this. So hopefully that will help the process.

Im sure Hogan, Roughy and even Choco will be in contact with him for moral support too.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Wishing Robbie all the best. He must be close to everyone's not-from-my-team favourite player.
