    Yea, just heard. Not my colour politically but I do admire him to some significant extent as he's had a baptism of fire in Finance.

    I wouldn't wish this diagnosis on anyone having watched someone go through it.

    Best wishes to him.

    Wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy, and I think B Lenihen, as proven in my Rating the Gov Post, was doing a good job at a very difficult time. (unlike tweedledumb and dumber he shares the top positions with).

    I wish him all the best for the future.

    I hate Brian Lenihan but obviously feel a bit upset over the news - like everyone else.

    Conspiracy theories start. Has he really got cancer? Is it just the government looking for sympathy?

    You don't claim you've got a form of cancer with close to 0% recovery prospects to look for sympathy. I posted this here rather than AH to try and avoid this!

    For Gods sake, grow up and show some small bit of humanity and compassion, even at Christmas time. :mad:

    Whatever your party colours. We wish him health and a speedy recovery, I'm no FF supporter but I can't help thinking the last year has taken a serious toll on the poor man.

    I do feel he has done his best.

    guys - pancreatic cancer is the worst form - there is no known cure - only drugs like tarceva which at best extend live by 6 - 12 months -- this is just awful - he is the only good guy in the current government doninated by waisters

    I feel sorry for the guy but will not resort to all the smoochy "hope he gets well soon" matter. Everyone changes their tune quickly. One minute they're whinging about the country - the next they're full of sympathy. Hypocrites.

    I have acute bouts of pancreatitis. :mad:I have it 8 years now. I dont drink.

    Doctors tell me it is the second most painful condition to deal with.

    Even morphine doent work for me anymore. I use df118.

    Best wishes to Mr. Lenihan, its not easy.

    @ Johnny Giles

    Err not ok.
    You'll (maybe) realise soon that you are seriously seriously wrong on this.
    Pancreatic cancer is a hideous disease.
    Yet another boards.ie barfly.
    Disgusting.

    As much as I hate FF and strongly dislike Lenihan it is sad to hear this.

    Could this have implications for a general election in the near future? Who else have FF got that could, or would even want to, replace Lenihan in the job of Finance Minister?

    They were not meant to report on this. You would think they would leave the family have some peace over Christmas.

    RTE Six One news headlines had no mention of this, although the story has been broken now. As Mark Little said:
    if minister and family did not agree to release news of illness do we the public have the right to know? On day after christmas?
