I’ve followed this from the original petesgaff thread, page 1. Shed a tear or two on that thread and same with this one.

Donated.

But just to say that although I’ve never met you, I’m full of admiration for you, your honesty and openness, your humour in the face of the toughest adversity, and your fight…and **** me it’s some fight you’ve put up. All the very best to you and your lovely family . Keep smashing cancer in the balls fella. 👍💪👏

Just like to echo what trap6 says on page four – that’s what I feel, expressed so much better than I could.

£30,000 target passed. Wow.

Donated…

Don’t know you, will never meet you but I’m in awe.

in the words of the great Jerry Garcia ‘keep on truckin’

Great news that £30k has been reached!
Just goes to show that there are plenty of people that can look past the daily grind and realsie that, by and large, we all have it pretty good and making a positive difference to someone’s life can be a pretty simple thing to do.

I hope that we get th chance to bump into you oe of these days.

Thanks for taking the time to update us.

All the best.

Si

Wow.  This is gathering some serious momentum.  Made my contribution yesterday.

Codeine ah the ole shitting a breeze block pain killer.

My eldest and I are on a Daddy-daughter road trip back up to Yorkshire to see my negative equity rented money pit. We’ve just had breakfast, and she’s colouring in one of those free McD kids sheets. And without looking up she says;

“Hey, this is lovely dad. Thanks for letting me be here…”

My sentiments exactly.

nothing much to add , but all the best from France ;

there is plenty of space for you and family to come and spend a holiday in south of france when you feel better .

Donated. Again a bit dusty here in the south west.

All the best Bullheart

Inspired by your determination, donated.

“Hey, this is lovely dad. Thanks for letting me be here…”

My sentiments exactly.

You magnificent bastard.

Done.

Never forgotten our meeting in the Surrey Hills, coincidentally in the presence of the legendary Fred, if you recall…

Keep buggering on!

Donated, all the best fella.

Why does that link to STW come back to the article about arms rather than this thread?

I’ve just pegged him on Twitter.

STW doesn’t half amaze me at times. Inspirational. Good luck Bullheart.

Donated. All the best Bullheart.

Just added a few more quid as promised as I got paid yesterday.

Any updates on the treatment/news/anything?

What Ghostly said.

No news is good news . . .???

Do I get a refund if it doesn’t work out?

I’m sure the big fella won’t mind me copying his last Facebook update on here, seeing as folk are asking –

“Fathers Day. Toast in bed that was bum shaped, cleaned out guinea pigs, fixed sofa and lunch at the Nevill Crest and Gun. Wonderful”

😀

Investments can can go down as well as up.

(I’m hoping mine goes up, as I imagine everyone else will be doing too, not that I expect to ever cash in)

“Fathers Day. Toast in bed that was bum shaped, cleaned out guinea pigs, fixed sofa and lunch at the Nevill Crest and Gun. Wonderful”

But was it the toast or the bed that was bum-shaped?

Nice update on the fundraiser site

“https://www.gofundme.com/55ugxdk?viewupdates=1&rcid=r01-153073086164-78acb187053a4322”

excellent stuff

I got the update. Good on them! Good on us!

For completeness (as it’s text)

Mark has now completed all 6 cycles of Abraxane. Chemo is always hard, but Mark has approached this lot of treatment with his usual stoicism and humour. Over all he has tolerated it really well, with no hospital admissions or other dramas which have happened during past treatments.

The latest scan results have shown continued reduction in the tumour sites, showing that the treatment is working, slowly but surely.

Because things have been going well, Mark’s consultant has recommended he has a further 2 treatment cycles. Because of your incredible generosity we have been able to go ahead with these extra treatments, without having to worry about the additional costs. So Mark had his 7th cycle today, with the 8th due in another 3 weeks.

After that he will be scanned again with a view to coming up with a further plan, which may include more Abraxane and/or some more targeted radiotherapy.

So this update is just to say thank you again, for allowing us to continue this treatment into additional cycles without having to worry about costs.

Update to follow in the coming weeks once the 8th cycle has taken place
