ANd good on him for allowing it to be public to help share the public health message!

Good lad!

 

[Macpotata]

Good luck and God Bless him.

 

[Dave]

Best of luck for a full and speedy recovery.

 

[energyquant]

Best of luck to the young man. Hope he makes a full recovery.

Holy crap. So glad it's malignant, but still shocked the hell out of me reading the first part!

'Benign' is the less serious alternative, malignant is worse.

'Benign' is the less serious alternative, malignant is worse.

That's what I was thinking . Very concerned

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Best of luck Doc. Glad they found it early enough. And always check your balls.

This bloke has had more than his share of bad luck. Just keeps bouncing back.

Malignant is not a good thing...

 

[PumpyChowdown]

He's had a tough run of late, but he's a fighter. Here's hoping and wishing for a speedy and permanent recovery.

Wow what a horrible human being for wishing the worse outcome on someone

I think it's obvious that he made a mistake.

Best wishes to Sam and his family. Great footballer, but more importantly, a great person.

Wait what?

I was saying that I was hoping it wasn't a bad situation, but I've had a few and I completely misconstrued what I meant to say.

Thanks Buzzasto DaSilva for the assist. A shame that my own club's supporter has such a negative view of people.

Ahhh gotcha bud. I just hope Doc is all good.

No I know, I've had a fair few lol, so I just wasn't thinking when I said that. Christ, my mum has cancer and so does my grandfather. My partner is a Blues supporter and they're my second team by virtue of that. I love Doch and have hated seeing him go through his knee recos the last two years. This on top, is just so unfair, and I'm just hoping for the best

 

[JackFlash]

Having gone through that myself a few years ago, I wish him a full and "comfortable" recovery...

 

[Davey33]

Holy crap. So glad it's malignant, but still shocked the hell out of me reading the first part!

EDIT: Apologies, but I read the OP completely wrong and replied incorrectly in turn. Not what I meant at all. Obviously malignant is bad and benign would have been good. I'm no stranger to cancer...believe me.

Meant to say 'so glad he's had surgery early if it's malignant, but still shocked the hell out of me reading that first part'

Completely f*cked that one up

Poor guy has had no luck at all. Hope he recovers to full health and fitness, and maybe get back to playing footy one day.
