sorry mate, you are not entirely correct there, there is no evidence of stress being 'directly' linked to cancer, but stress does cause people to smoke or generally be unhealthy that could cause cancer, but either way, it's terrible news for Bails and his family. the Demon family should all show our support for the man.

Google "stress and cancer" and read plenty.

And Genetics, diet, behaviour and environment don't?

Of course they do.

I'm not trying to be clever or stupid chook.

Only demonland could turn a get well thread in to an argument.

Not my intention.

I wish him all the best and won't debate further.

I must say McQueen it is the first thing that popped into my head also... not just the tanking saga but just being under heaps of pressure when coaching us, everyone on his back, getting smashed, ultimately 186 and shown the door.. can't be good for anyone's health. Bloody awful news, all the best to him.

It is pointless to speculate about what might have caused any one cancer. Plenty of people who have never smoked for example, develop cancers associated with smoking.

We all wish Bails the best for his recovery. Let's just hope for that.

Shocking news, best wishes for a speedy recovery Dean.

All the best to him and his family.

I've said it before, but junction oval needs to be investigated, the amount of mfc associated staff diagnosed with cancer seems, to me, abnormally high.

What? Cancer is directly related to stress.

The tanking saga reignited by Anderson would've played a huge part on his condition.

I wish him all the very best and hope he is able to fight this thing into remission and beyond.

Agree.

All the best Dean.

Google "stress and cancer" and read plenty.

good old google, not going to get in an argument on a thread about this terrible news, i work as a specialist in cancer, and the one of the most important things is to have a positive mindset and Bails seems like that kind of a man, i put my money on him to beat it.

Very sad to hear! This bloke has really been through it the past few years. He doesn't deserve this on top! Sure hope he makes a speedy and full recovery!

Good bloke. Bad news. Fight hard Bails.

Warm wishes and a speedy recovery Dean.

Thinking of you Dean. Have had a few tough years lately.

Fight the Power.

No offence Pal, but in an anonymous forum like this I'll take Googles credentials over yours.

Horrible news. Tough bloke who will get through it.

Couldn't help yourself McQueen, I get it, ,.............. good luck Bails.

Get well soon Dean. We're barracking for you mate.

hope the treatment goes well bails and you beat it

we'll be rooting for you

you'll always be one of us

All the best Bails!!!!!!!!

This guy could actually coach and had us borderline finals 8 team leading into the 186 disaster

Then Schwab and all the closed door factions bickering went up a gear and it went pear shaped

I like Dean Bailey!
