Hi Chris. I have had a flare up of back trouble so little bench time over the last week or two. Hopefully I will be able to get back to the bench and post again next week.

You really need to either tell Alice to give you a rest, or maybe join her in a swim at the beach Barry.

A quick personal update.

I am currently sat in bed at Kings College Hospital having had a growth removed from my spine. It is cancer, probably prostate. If they had done an MRI and CAT scan at A&E when I first went there with what I thought was sciatica then it would have been detected two years ago. This time they got it right and were brilliant, I was whisked off to Kings College by emergency ambulance yesterday and spent 9 hours in surgery over night. Feeling good right now with the first stage of the fight over.

Now I am awaiting a biopsy and a plan to deal with the cancer. I feel very confident and positive.

The good news being that with back issues repaired and when I have regained strength in my legs (severely hit) I won’t be so limited by bench time. Just got to beat the big ‘C’ and you know what they say about prostate !!!
