Fast Eddie

[pa___ul3]

My Grandad's going in for a full body scan this week after preliminary tests showed that he might have a tumour in his bowel. As you might expect he's been told not to run and now can't join me in the Marathon, he's gutted!
Anyway, my aunty is running it and usually runs with my Grandad of a Saturday morning.
She was quite surprised to get a call yesterday from my Grandad saying "I'll probably meet you by Arrowe Park gates (where they usually meet) about half ten, but I've just got to find out if I have cancer first so I'll let you know"! As if it was a waiting for a parcel or something!
The man's a legend!! Although it's not the best idea to go against doctors orders, we all know that not being able to run would be worse for him than any cancer could be!

fair play to him, hope the tests are negative (is that right?)

Oh Pa__ul3, he sounds a great guy, more power to him.

[Quassia]

What a great attitude to have! I hope his scan goes well for him!

[ummmm]

Hey Paul...that's great.

My grandad had a tumour in his bowel which was successfully removed about 10 years ago. He's 87 today :-)

Hope all goes well for Grandad pa-ul3, he sounds a really great guy.

[~Wingnut~]

He sounds a great man! All the best to him :o)

[pa___ul3]

thanks all, he has been told that there's plenty that can be done if it does come to the worst, it was a sickening shock to hear that at first but we're trying to keep as positive as possible and him being typical him does help a lot!

I wish your Grandad well. He has got the right attitude.

[Pinkypie]

His way of dealing with it and what a great way to be!
