Dear God/Fate/The Universe/Whatever,

If, over the course of my life, I've managed to put together any positive karma/psychic energy/cosmic flow/whatever, I'd like to transfer it all to Jimmy Stynes, please. The guy deserves a break!

All the best,

Bananas

(Everybody's with you, Jimmy. Keep fighting.)

As usual, Jim is trying to play down what is a far more serious operation than he is letting on. They're cracking open his skull and tinkering with his brain fcs!!!! He's a strong man our Jim. Takes everything in his stride. Never shows any weakness. Holds his shoulders high and proud and tells the world how good and strong he feels, belieing the appearance of his clearly withered body. He is an inspiration. I really hope the boys give him soething to smile about this Sunday at the G.

As an aside, has Jim ever officially mentioned what his primary cancer is? My feeling is that it is melanoma, considering it started as "lumps in the back", but has this ever actually been mentioned in any press releases or has Jim ever said as much in any of his speeches/interviews? I didn't catch "Open Mike" last week, so don't know what he said there. But all I've ever heard are the words "tumour" and "cancer" mentioned. Does anyone know? If it hasn't been mentioned, then I'm sure Jim wants to keep it private, so I won't ask again.

It is a serious bout he has, a friend just sent me an email-his brother is a Doc at one of our big hospitals.

Tumours in the Brain mean the whole thing is touch & go-he is going to need every bit of his strength to beat this stuff.

It is serious-all of us on here must understand that. Send him whatever energy you can

The bravery of the man is amazing. Just like the bravery he showed in ignoring injury to play a record number of consecutive gains and also mirrored in his selfless work for the community and the club. A true hero if there ever was.
