All down to those white wheels I reckon. Fantastic news Mark, and I look forward to our paths crossing again sometime, hopefully in the not to distant future.

Fantastic news bullheart - I'll have to share this(thread) with other folk.

Truly inspirational, everytime I see this thread has an update I'm hesitant in checking in.

Glad my worst fears have never materialised.

So, you are the only person to have beat this, puts Olympic champions, TDF winners etc to shame 😀

The surgery team who did your heart op must be 'kin magicians. Them and the chemo bods. Chapeau.

Great news, as per others I have followed your journey on and off over the last couple years. I do have an important question though:

"I will however be having a reverse 'stag-do' when I'm better next year; probably in Yorkshire, definitely with all of you, and proudly displaying scars on a body that you all helped to save. I give you my word"

Did the above session happen? If not count me in for a pint

Amazing news mate, remember crying early on in this thread and almost doing so again.
Had some bad news last week and so great to hear something positive, especially on here.
Go hard or go home, you appear to have done both.

Truly great news. Inspirational.

Superb news

Incredible news, made me well up a bit!

will you have my babies?

Absolutely amazing news!
Congratulations
🙂

We're in deeper Norfolk on holiday. I have the shittest Internet connection on my phone and it's just taken 20 mins to trawl back to the important post.

And now I really don't know what to say. Nothing adequate comes to mind certainly!!! 🙂

Mark, just effing well done mate. That's shit-hot news. I raise a glass ( well plastic mug) of beer to your good health sir!

Love ya!! 😀

Is it too early to start a Sports Personality of the Year campaign?????

will you have my babies?

Er, that's the other thing...

Meg's pregnant. There is a little Bullheart on the way.

The world is doomed.

Ease up on the "personality" bit, yeah?

😉

Fantastic news all round!! Well done!!

So who are you fighting next then BH? A volcano? 🙂

Er, that's the other thing...

Meg's pregnant. There is a little Bullheart on the way.

The world is doomed.

Congratulations, glad to hear the most important part is functioning ok!

Excellent news bullheart. Really an amazing outcome. It could be that you have some sort of immune reaction to your mets? It's isn't unknown in certain sarcoma's (eg. stage IV neurobalastoma). I worked for 7 year in sarcoma research at RM/ICR Sutton - there is plenty we still don't know unfortunately.

Absolutely wonderful news.....congratulations and well done!

Now wheres that bloody snotrag.

bullheart, your attitude is aspirational. high5 🙂

Er, that's the other thing...

Meg's pregnant. There is a little Bullheart on the way.

The world is doomed.

Utterly brilliant (the 'pregnancy' bit, not the 'world doomed' bit....) 🙂

Splendiferous news, cheered me no end.

I'd suggest that you are indeed tougher than Snake Plissken, or even Donovan from 'V'...

Just don't let the US military hear about your antics else you'd be coerced into sorting out them Iranians single handedly.

bullheart= born under the sign of the honey badger!

Congratulations (on being clear) and congratulations (on baby bullheart).

From bunnyhop and nbt XX

Amazing, simply amazing.

There is a little Bullheart on the way.

Call him/her Flash. Do it! Do it!

Well I'm impressed!

That's one of those real proper medical miracle stories which to be fair are (or would be) life-rafts for those facing terminal illness or disability.

Like the Hungarian strongman who broke his neck and refused to take it sitting down, so to speak.. and recovered.

Channel 4 made a programme about him, they'd make one about you too I'm sure 🙂

It could be that you have some sort of immune reaction to your mets?

Hmm.. fascinating thing the immune system innit?

Fantastic news - and congratulations on baby bullheart too! A remarkable and inspirational story - well done and thankyou for keeping us all posted.

Meg's pregnant. There is a little Bullheart on the way.

wow, amazing 🙂

Excellent news on the pregnancy!!!!

You will be there to look after her when she is feeling sick now.

You are SOOOO ****in coming to the BBB next year, it is only 1p for under 12s and Baby Bullheart can take part in the trailer challenge. If it is anything like you it will probably be riding by then though!

Excellent - Good man, an unconquerable soul if there ever was one.

i didn't realise that this was petegaff with a new name.

read the first lot of posts.

nothing much to say other than WAHEY!

Congratulations on both counts, I have followed this from the start and you and Meg are both inspirational. 😀

I've followed this from the start, just summarised it to the wife.

Absolutely flipping fantastic news on both counts.

Absolutely just the best thing I've read in a very very long time. Fantastic.

baby bull heart just set me off again. I'm such a girls blouse. awesome news. being a dad is joint best thing that ever happened to me.

you've become immortal and now your reproducing - it would make a great Hollywood blockbuster!! great news!!

Fantastic! great news bullheart!

Inspirational. Well done!

While you got your strength from this forum, along with the silent lurkers who were thinking of you (that'll be me then!), YOU still beat it.

Well done and congratulations, Bullheart.

So, in between fighting "terminal" cancer, riding jogle, mm, sits et all, you also found time for some top level shagging ?

We are simply not worthy.

All the best for you and Meg mate... **sends massive virtual man hug**

Get yourself a T-Shirt made up that says...

"Bullheart, beating Cancer through Willpower, exercise and sheer determination since 2010" 😉

Seriously though, as someone who has lost family members to cancer, can't underestimate how much admiration I have for you for beating it off.

Well done for taming the beast, and long may it continue...

I´ve spent the past 4 hours reading through all this. I´ll be knackered for my double-shift at work tomorrow (later today) but f*ck me, thats the best four hours I´ve used in years. Inspirational stuff.

Since 2002 I´ve beaten a nasty disease into remission, and now I´m out on my bike every chance I get. But your story takes the cake, amazing stuff.
You´re a lucky man to have a partner that gets you, I know I certainly couldn´t have managed without my other half. I´ll have to stop typing now, tearing up again.

Quite simply you´re a legend, congratulations and my heartfelt best wishes to you and your (growing) family for the future.

after reading the 'what made you cry' thread, some bent curiousity made me look back through to read this thread.

only a string of profanity can really describe what I really want to say, from the tosser you had to work with, to JOGLE to the mountain mayhem stuff. oh and the cancer.

words fail me, truly. you and those around you are the single most hope-giving example of dogged determination I have ever had the pleasure to read about.

digs, showers, bikes to borrow and food all on offer to you in south Ontario if you ever want to do a cross-Canada ride, hell i'd join you. there are atleast two bikeshops where my very good friends work who would sponsor you in a heartbeat. I don't say that out of pity, I say that out of utter admiration for what you've achieved and will [i]no doubt[/i] go on to achieve.

keep fighting, don't ever give it even a chance of returning, not today, not ever.

(tears on cheeks)

Fabulous news, congratulations.

can't underestimate how much admiration I have for you for beating it off.

Highly inappropriate but massive LOL

Yep, that's my coat. The childs one, yes...

Congrats on the baby to you both 🙂

Fantastic news followed by fantastic news - just genuine, heart-felt admiration for the way you've handled this from the start.

A couple of folk in our family will be mightily heartened and (hopefully) inspired by your news.

Congratulations to you both.

This thread should be renamed:

[b]I think cancer is about to be diagnosed with Bullheart, and it's fairy scared![/b]

😀

Congrats on Little Bullheart!! 🙂

Can't add anything but my congratulations to you both

On a dark afternoon with bad news all about. You really have brightened my day totally. You deserve to enjoy the rest of a very long and happy life. Guess it picked the wrong man. I'm not in your shoes thankfully, but I doubt I'd have the strength if I'm honest to get through it. Which makes someone who did even more special.
Enjoy the summer, and the rest of ya life too!
Thanks for a warm teary happy ending.
M

Brilliant 🙂

[b]I think cancer is about to be diagnosed with Bullheart, and it's fairy scared![/b]

Meg's pregnant. There is a little Bullheart on the way.

Someone called him 'Bullhorn' on the classifieds earlier. Yikes!

suggested tagline for the film... 😉

But if it does, I'll be waiting. It'd better bring an army with it.

There are actually, in existence, Bullheart Thongs and Pants

I'm another lurker. This is the most amazingly excellent news I have ever read on a forum. Go bullheart!

If they do a biopic, Jens Voigt should be your cycling stunt double.

bloody hell !

well done - brilliant news x2

I'm fairly new to STW and only came across your thread tonight then proceeded to read it from the start.

You're truly an inspiration to us all. Not just for you and your body's ability to kick the big C's ass but also the humility and honesty you've done it with.

A real hero.

Proper tears being shed here.

wow, just wow!

(now get on with the rest of your long and happy life 😀 )

Awesome - great news all round and a fantastic story from start to end.

EDIT - not the end - more like the new beginning!

I blame it on the hormones 🙂 but that's such a wonderful story, I've been reduced to tears.

I'm really, really happy for you. Fabulous news!!!

Rachel

Fantastic news!
All our love and good wishes for all three of you.
A child born to parents who understand the fleeting preciousness of life is truly blessed.
Drillski

"Wolverine" ?? more like Captain Scarlet!!

Congrats to you both.

Goosebumps reading this thread. Congratulating you both. Inspirational.

Been away on holiday - no internet, just come back and read this and WOW congratulations on both fronts.

Can I have your full name and team details so I can place my bets early on the TDF winner for the next 7 years.

Could I suggest a bloke not far from here who might carry the olympic torch better than most?

Ok, so I'm a little bit jealous that you've managed to get a sprog on the go, but really, really happy or you and Meg!

Go Bullheart!

Yet another lurker, just got back from a few days off and read this - glad I in the office on my own at the mo!
As everybody else has said, brilliant news. Words are not adequate but well done on both counts best wishes for the future.

Hello, I didn't read this thread first time round, mostly because I was doing the whole "cancer thing" myself, and frankly being a bit of a pussy about it, and decided avoiding the whole topic was probably the best way to deal with it.

So having now read all 44 pages of this, I'm speachless... cracking effort with the LeJog, and its great to see that things have really turned around for you! Unfortunately your just giving page seems to have expired, so i shall make a donation to Sarcoma uk direct.

Keep kicking!

Jim

Jim- don't know if you saw but to round the year off bullheart became a dad earlier this week. I hope you've had success in your fight too.

Brilliant. Can't think of any better word.

I didn't know that wwaswas, and I don't know the bloke from anyone, but what a fantastic thing. I AM NOT gonna cry at my computer! Babi Bullheart 😀

You're right. She is beautiful.

She is also a very lucky girl in having a dad who refuses to believe in negativity and has proved that anything is possible.

Happy Christmas to you all. You truly rock!

Aww, she looks so gorgeous! Well done all of you! I'm sure you'll have an amazing Christmas.

cried at my computer.
