Bad news again...

After the news about Geoff Horsfield and more recently Chris Todd suffering from major illnesses

I just saw this on the BBC Sport Website

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chesterfield/7745803.stm

I would like to wish Derek and his family the best of luck in the face of this horrible illness.

Yes, just saw this on TFF.

Best wishes to Derek and family - hope all goes well and that he can be back on the pitch.

Best wishes to Derek.

A reminder to the blokes on here to check themselves on a regular basis. I think the under 30 years old category are most at risk?
:$

Phew. Being 31 obviously I'm safe...

That said, after a bit of a scare a few years back (had to be checked over but was fine), I do remember to check pretty often...

I hope he gets well soon. I always thought prostate/testicular cancer generally affected older men.

Prostate affects older men. But testicular cancer affects younger men.

Best wishes obviously to Derek and his family and it is a must to check yourself, Im 25 and about 3 months ago found a lump but after having it all checked out it seems that the lump or lumps were particles of Calcium and Chalk but thankfully it wasnt what i was fearing the most so atleast that put my mind at rest.
