Lads i have something serious to say (no, seriously :P) and would like to say it here.

Over the last few months i've been going through a lot and have had to face a lot of things i never thought or wanted to.
Basically last September my girlfriend was brought into hospital with a few problems, pains in her back, loss of apetite, stuff like that. After a few weeks and after a biopsy was conducted she was diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph glands.
My head was a mess and everything was a little bit crazy around us. I had a lot of well wishers and help from friends and family but whoever i met out and about would always, with the best intentions at heart, ask for an update which i would be very happily be asked but yet be torn apart having to give.

Why am I posting this? Well basically to say a thank you to the guys on this forum and the rest of boards who unknowingly gave me my respite from all the issues of the last few months. It might have been just a bit of banter about wrestling and all that goes with it to you guys, but for me it was a welcome escape and one that i'm very grateful of having. I was going to post about what was going on when it all came to a head but after i deactivated my facebook and pulled back on using twitter, i didnt want to be scared of coming onto boards and be greeted with the same questions as the ones I was nervous about answering on there.

But, some good news;
Last thursday after 6 months of intensive chemotherapy my girlfriend finished her treatment.
She had a PET scan done at the beginning of the treatment and another one performed then 2 months in. That PET scan had come back 100% clear, which going from what they found in the initial one to that is a massive result and one which we didnt know the full extent of until last thursday. Which was excellent news.

I'm so happy that its over and that the treatment has worked that i'm literally telling everyone. It makes a welcome change from the convos ive had with some over the last 6 months!
So in a nutshell and i know it sounds really strange but thanks again for doing something you had no idea you guys were doing which ment so much.

Sad to hear that I was shocked when I flicked on SSN earlier after picking up Power Slam. With this, Abidal, Cassano & Muamba football is having a lot of serious illnesses lately.
