Hello everyone, at last the news we've been waiting for even if it's not the best news.
Brad has been diagnosed with a EWINGS SARCOMA, this is a primary bone cancer that is localised to the tibia. Apparently it is a cancer that affects youngsters mostly between the ages of 10 - 20 yrs old, and more boys than girls and basically it is all about a group of bone cells usually within the long bones of the body, that decide to start to misbehave abnormally (issue them with an ASBO!!!!).
Brad will spend approx 7-10 days in hospital having tests to check out all of his other internal organs and ensure that he is strong enough to commence the chemo, he will then have to store some sperm samples (no sniggering!!!), for future generations of rugby players,
Chemo can then begin. This will probably be 4-6 sessions each lasting 3 weeks, then surgery of whatever type they deem suitable at the time, then up to 8 chemo sessions to finish, all this should take roughly a year.
Keep up the support, he does read the posts and it does cheer him up. Thanks again everyone for the posts XXXXXXXXXX Michaela and Brad and family.

Hi Brad
We're all rooting for you at SIRFC and hope all goes well at UCH / RNOH.
Just remember what we kept shouting at you during the coaching sessions about "carrying in two hands" - looks like that's going to be useful advice!
Keeping fighting and kick CLifford firmly in to touch.
All the best
Mike & Tony
