Many thanks Darren. I echo the best wishes and hope all goes well. 

I wish you, your wife and family the strength to get through this tough time Darren and look forward to a successful outcome.
We all do,as you can see.

Only just seen this.....

So very sorry to learn of your news Darren. I do hope that yesterday's procedure went to plan and that your wife is being made as  "comfortable" as possible by her care team now. The next period will of course be daunting for you all and I join with all the other members in here hoping for a successful chemotherapy treatment and a positive prognosis thereafter.

It goes without saying that we'll all be thinking about your wife, you and your family.  

I'm really sorry to hear that you also had a battle with cancer, Nick; thank goodness though that you survived to tell the tale.

I was 27 when I myself was struck down by a very nasty illness in 2007, namely Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). This encompasses two different forms; Crohns' Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. At the moment it is incurable and can only be controlled with ongoing medication. However I heard on the grapevine a while ago that a professor at King's College Hospital in London had developed a vaccine which he believed will one day both cure people like me who suffer from the condition, and protect those who don't have it. Modern medicine is indeed a great thing, and had it not been for the availability of the treatments I have been given, I would very likely have had to undergo surgery a while ago.

Here is the Top 20 of the posting league for October. Please see the front page for an explanation of why this is all I am producing for the foreseeable future.

Grateful Darren- and not just because I scraped into the 20. At one point I thought you'd only manage top 10, but you seem to have taken on more and I hope that's not going to be too tall an order for you. Truly best wishes.

Only just discovered Darren's news, so can I also wish them all the best. My mum also had breast cancer and had a mastectomy, intenstive treatment and radiotherapy, that was 10 years ago and she's still with us today aged 75.  

Thanks Darren for the posting league. Nice to see it carrying on into a new dimension..

Thanks for keeping this going Darren, even if it is not as comprehensive as before. You're a star.

Thank you Darren. 

Thanks Darren, much appreciated!

So what you're saying, Darren, is that I've missed out on two gold medals and associated write-ups.

Cheers Darren,
Good to see you still posting.

Aye - Best wishes Darren 

Here's November's Top 20. Busy time I'm afraid. I do still hope that I can make more information available to you ultimately, but I've not had any opportunity yet to do so.

Thanks for posting the table Darren. All good names at the top. Great to still be able to see how we are doing. Well done all and of course well done Darren.

Just read this thread , thoughts are with you and your wife Darren.

You have all the support of TWO

Keep it up Darren.

Good to see familiar names bobbing around the place.

It's like Top of the Pops.

Can't be missed.

Thanks again for this Darren; best wishes.
