All the best Hal

Read in the paper this morning Hal Harvey is suffering with Pancreatic cancer, I can only wish him and his family all the very best and to fight a good fight of huge GT like proportions.
Regards
Dale

Thanks Dale and crew, your best wishes are appreciated. Unfortunately pancreatic is a pretty tough one and the 'essential for survival' operation I had last month was unsuccessful... that was a bit disappointing. Chemo starts September 12th and it's anybody's guess how rapidly things move along after that.
Cheers
Hal

Thanks guys,
Some names from the early days there... bet there's a couple suddenly feeling a touch of mortality too! Just in case anybody's wondering, I didn't actually do anything to deserve this - no smoking, not much drinking, no family history, nothing at all... both parents in excellent health still. It's literally less than a one in 10,000 chance of getting it, and seemingly for no reason. Should have bought a Lotto ticket hey.

Dad was in hospital with a professional swimmer who one day sunk to the bottom of the pool. You can only imagine his living regime as an athlete.
After a couple of decades of only goin to hospital for stitches and broken bits as it appears GP's don't do sutures I'm going for some form of 100000km cancer check at a GP near me. Bugger this 'your going to need a new short motor'.
I'm convinced, nature is a psychopath. Its just not cricket.

I don't think cancer is ever really about what people deserve really.
I think the biggest contributing factor to pancreatic cancer is being male, isn't it Hal?
Best of luck in any case.

B J.I am fairly confident at the moment.
I dont know if we will hear from the man himself though.He may well be hobnobbing with the rich and famous again.
