So it' sounds like it's just a matter of time? I don't mean too sound negative at all and I want him to pull through as much as anyone. I have had no experiences with cancer (touch wood) I really really hope he makes it, I also really really hope sooner rather than latter there is a cure for this horrible thing known as "cancer"

Lets try to keep a positive Tone & good wishes. IMO Jimmy wants to be treated normally with the regular type banter, etc, with smiles & optimism.

Not too much sympathetic toned best wishes. It would be tough to keep up a good sense of humor if in that position, so probably needs help from the adoring supporters with bright & cheerful cheekiness.

its really hard to say Daz. it may be a matter of time. i agree with you, i hope he pulls through. its a horrible disease, and thats being polite. but in what i have seen the human spirit and will is just as important as any treatment, mental toughness is key to defeating this bastard of a disease. spirit, will and mental toughness is what our Jimmy has in spades, so lets see how he goes, he won't hold back, he won't give up, he needs some luck too. as i say to patients i look after, you're only dead when ur in the ground, if ur still breathing, keep fighting, thats what jimmy is doing. he will give it all he's got, lets hope it's enough. our thoughts are with him and anyone else out there that is dealing with this disease, that includes the families, its just as hard for them too.

a lot of u may not have known that last week was Mens Health week all over the world, the slogan we had was Men: Look After your Important tools! it was a time to ask questions about your own health and wellbeing, check you tackle boys, do it regular, from an early age. i am happy to answer any queries via email here if anyone has any questions, would be confidential obviously. we all want to be fit and well to see our boys lift the cup, its not far away, Carn the Dees

all cancers are not equal. cancers derived from different areas of the body vary in their behaviour and how aggressive they are. Jim hasn't stated in the media the type of cancer he has (as far as i know), but i have heard it is melanoma. Again, there are various different types of melanoma with various different attached prognoses. What I'm trying to say here is that we cannot compare the experiences we have had with our family and friends, who are likely to has faced different fights, and that we do not have enough information to know how jimmy is going. I suspect that it is not looking good, but jimmy is young and a fighter. people can and do survive against the odds and if anyone has a chance at beating it, it is jimmy.

but in what i have seen the human spirit and will is just as important as any treatment, mental toughness is key to defeating this bastard of a disease.

I wouldn't get into a long winded debate about this as it's not the time nor place, but I'd dispute this view. The most positive and strong willed people have and do die of cancer and some of the most negative people from the outset survive. I don't think there are any studies that support your theory, but I'm happy to be directed to them.

That said, I know which state of mind I'd recommend to people. And no, I have no expertise in this field whatsoever.

Does anyone know what happins with his treatment? Does he require more surgery?

Today's twitter that 2 old tumors are back suggests that he will need more surgery. However the fact that no new tumors have emerged is much better news than I had feared.

Keep fighting Jimmy .. we're all with you.

its no theory mate, i too have seen the strongest minds and bodies dwindle away and the worst kind of people survive,its an unfair disease, but there are those who just give up and they slip away without even fighting, that is my point mate. Jimmy won't give up, even if it does get him at the end, he will have given it all he's got.

That is spot on. With Jimmy's spirit and an ounce of luck, hopefully he can see this off.

Jimmy is in huge trouble. We are all hoping for a miracle - and that's exactly what he needs. I suspect he knows that. No man on earth deserves a better outcome than the one Jimmy is facing.

I hate baring ones feelings/souls to a person they do not personally know but in this instance I think Mr Stynes has had an indirect, some cases direct, impact on our lives in such a positive way.

Here is hoping Mr Stynes you are one of the fortunate, amazing people who beat this disease. That you are able to go on and live a wonderful life with your family.

Big Jimma has just got to live each day to its fullest. I think he is doing that, he inspires us all i hope.

What can you say, The Big man is in a bad way-we as supporters of the MFC can only send him encouragement and love for both him & what he has done for this Mighty Club

Hopefully the re-emergence of the Demon will help pull Jimma through all this....

FWIW, i'm working for a doc from Peter Mac and he tells me Jimmy does have a cancer which can disappear for no apparent reason, irrelevant of treatment.

Well let's hope that your doc is right. Cancer can be a very Random disease. Personally i believe Positive Thinking can sometimes Beat certain cancers as well.

The Big Jimma has that in spades. So we the DEMON ARMY just have to help him through it all & beyond.

I've Not been a religious person but a spiritual one, however I'm becoming somewhat more God orientated, so I for one will say some prayers for our Jimma.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
