    Excellent news Two Sheds!

    Your story just devastated me and it's great to hear that you have some very positive news to share.

    As I think I said to you before, doctors don't know everything and they are often wrong. You keep fighting and stay positive and you definitely can beat this. Cancer is still largely an unknown disease, particularly rare cancers, so please make those medical books as one of those success cases that every other poor bastard with the same type of cancer can look to.

    Best of luck!

    This is actually the first time I have gone into a Board other than the main two, and I am really sorry I didn't visit before today.

    Like Nasher and a few others have said - I have nothing profound to say, and feel uneasy about PMing someone I clearly don't know.

    But I will say this - TSJ - “Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense”

    Churchill was a monumental [censored] but he knew how to get the most out of himself and his life.

    Good luck.

    I have to say, Two Sheds Jackson, that reading your story made me unbearably sad. The only person in my family (who I know of) who's had cancer is my grandfather. He had his ear off but that was when my dad was a boy. He had an aggressive in-ear cancer and at 80 years is still going strong. Reading about the good news five minutes later (haven't been on this board before seeing your thread pop up when I was choosing between the main board and the Jordy board) has really made my day. Keep fighting my friend, you WILL set the benchmark for beating this.

    Everyone else, I started this thread on BigFooty last month about Jim Stynes, http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=639823, I know most of you hate the site but if we could all take the said ideas in this thread and mirror it to TSJ (don''t stop the positivity for Jimmy though!) it would be really, really great.

    That's awesome news, two sheds. I was kind of dreading opening this thread back up again, but that's bloody fantastic news. The human body is an insanely complicated machine, so it's nearly impossible for anyone to know exactly what's going on. All they can do is guess based on what has happened to other people that they think this may have happened to - but not you. Keep winning the fight.

    Quick update;

    - Finished treatment.

    - The chemo worked brilliantly. By the fourth cycle (I had six all up) there was no cancer showing in the scans at all. Pretty much everyone was shocked about that. They're not saying I'm cured, because they can't once it's spread through the bloodstream, but they can't put a limit on how long it could stay dormant for, and obviously I can try the same treatment again if and when it comes back.

    - Back at uni, doing comedy again (entered RAW Comedy this year and made the State finals), so I'm basically back to normal.

    - Now it's a matter of getting scans every month or so, but if it stays stable for a while, they'll make it every few months. Basically the longer it stays stable, the less regularly I'll have to have scans. So yeah, it's a bit touch and go for now.

    Pretty bloody stoked with how it's gone, actually. With the obvious exception of being diagnosed with the [censored] thing in the first place, I've been pretty lucky; things have gone way, way better than anyone would have expected when I wrote the OP.

    Bring on the footy!

    you should get in touch with Jimma, he would be inspired himself by your own story mate.

    Good to hear you are fighting fit for the new season apart from all else-we need your voice to help rock the 'G :)

    Good for you, twosheds. I've kept my eye on this thread every now and then. I hope the luck stays with you.

    Great stuff Two Sheds.

    I always like an MFC victory but anything MFC could do would pale into insignificance to the victory you have achieved.

    Good luck and enjoy your future.

    Brilliant news. :)

    Bloody [censored] amazing news Two Sheds! Stoked for you and wish you all the best. I'm only 15 myself but I'va had to have a blood test, EEG and MRI to look over dizzy spells which the neurologist says is probably due to migraine. Get the results checked on friday but I'm still nervous that they might find a tumour or epilepsy (this paling in insignificance to the former). Can't comprehend what must have been going through your head.

    Good On Ya Bud

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
