[BillyStubbsTears]

Keep fighting the bas**rd Vicar. Very best of luck.

[ravenrover]

Asking a Skella lad to keep fighting, like asking The Pope if he's Catholic
You'll beat it Dave, no problem

[scawsby steve]

You were always a fighter, Dave, and you still are.

Keep going, my old mate.

[the vicar]

I intend to Steve mate and thanks everyone

[Dagenham Rover]

Good Luck Dave You'll crack it

[the vicar]

I’m very nervous about going for the trial as I have never been through it before and it takes 90 minutes to complete in a MRI scan machine they are as noisy as hell lol

[selby]

  God knows what they will find Dave, well done Buddy don't let it get you down.

[idler]

Just treat it as another tough away fixture and think of all of the others you and the Rovers have had and come back smiling.

Mri's are ok Dave I've had 3 at different times. My backs so full of titanium now I'm worth a fortune     Its just a sort of weird clanking and banging and you may get a warm feeling on the bit thats being scanned at the time, it'll probably so many bouts of for example 10/15/20 minutes a time so you can relax for a minute in between, you'll have a button in youre hand to stop them at any time  Just go to sleep but you need to stay still.

it’s not like that this time mate I have had them before but this is anMRI SCAN  and radiotherapy that is the bit I’m scared of as I have never had that, it’s a new pioneering think it’s a trial thing at the moment

[DRCraig]

All the best fellow fan.

I know where you are coming from Dave but you'll smash it. My wife had to have chemo and radiotherapy at the same time ( not rare but fairly uncommon ) due to the type of very aggressive bowel  cancer a double whammy !!

[the vicar]

Did she get any side effects from the radiotherapy

[Bentley Bullet]

My wife had chemo in between bouts of radiotherapy. It was the chemo side effects that destroyed her, although thankfully only temporarily. Here we are 10 years later and she's back to her fighting weight and in control of me again.

Thank God.

Stay safe vicar, all the best.
