Best of luck, Tony, in this difficult time.

All your fans will be wishing all the best to you and yours. Yes, Tony, you do have many fans and I'm just one of them.

Hope the doctors are wrong and you have many,many more years ahead of you. You & your website provide a great service to followers of grass roots football, and not just to those living in the UK.

Best wishes,

Uncle Tony,

I dont know what to say except sorry. This must be such a horrible thing to go through but just by looking at this blog you have so much support from family, friends and even your own fanclub! Best of luck uncle tony, we're all thinking of you

lots of love, Hannah Kempster x x x

Best of luck, Tony. The whole footballing world is behind you.

Hi Tony my dad too had bowel cancer, they told him they couldnt operate but after chemo and radiotherapy it had shrunk enough for him to be succesfully operated on. There is always hope

All the very best mate

Tony

People like you are worth so much. I will be with you every step of the way

Tony, so glad to hear your positivity.

My mother has just been informed she has a somewhat similar condition - centred about the kidneys - and I have been trying to get her to cause her medics to try getting access to promising novel therapies - some of which I have already mentioned upon this blog.

New information leads me to beleive that the very most exciting work being done in this field concerns 'granulocytes' which are the bodies own guardians against infections/cancers, but whose efficacy varies greatly amongst the general populace.

Persons carrying the most effectively working granulocytes will virtually never contract a 'hard' cancer, or if they do, it will prove to be very short lived - whilst those with the least effective granulocytes will have no or little such protection.

Here's the interesting thing, now... recent research has shown that the immune systems of those folks unfortunate to have the low-grade version of granulocyte appear to be able to have their systems 'primed' as it were by the injection (or similar) of another person's granulocytes - which will very often be sufficient to start the host manufacturing more 'potent' versions themselves, resulting in tumour reduction in a large number of cases and indeed full regression to the point of tumour destruction in another reasonably large number.

I hope and trust that you will find the above information informative and useful and that you may manage to get the opportunity to 'test' this new treatment, if your medics can get it for you.

Cheers mate,

Tony - I would just like to add my well-wishes to the numerous ones placed here and on the main forum. The work you've put in over the last decade to make the website and forum the number one stopping off point for almost all non-league fans has been immensely appreciated, and I hope you will have many many years to come.

Keep that chin up Tony - everybody is behind you! I'm pretty sure that you will be fighting fit for many years to come, you're a top man!

I have followed your website for eight years. It has been a pleasure through and through, an incredibly fine source of information on English football.
In my opinion it is perfect.

In these difficult times I would just like to wish you and your family all the best !

I don't think there is much more to be added beyond best of luck: I have used your site for so much over these years, from finding out where on earth various godforsaken FA Trophy outposts are, through end-of-season playoff calculations, right the way to maths lessons to introduce negative numbers (thanks also go to Derby County for that one).

All the best.

Would like to think this will get to you,Tony all the very best in all your treatment and all you get is the very best.Best wishes Alan and family.

Best of luck to you from the other side of the world. All best wishes to you - your site is an invaluable resource, and I sincerely hope you pull through.
