Sir Bobby Robson lider av obotlig cancer

Sir Bobby Robson lider av obotlig cancer

Sir Bobby Robson har för femte gången i sitt liv drabbats utav cancer. Denna gång uppger han själv att han inte kan vinna kampen mot sjukdomen.

Under sjutton års tid har Sir Bobby Robson drabbats utav cancer fem gånger. De första fyra sjukdomarna har han otroligt nog lyckats besegra. Nu tycks han dock inte kunna övervinna sjukdomen igen. Nog från mig nu. Jag låter den störste av de alla tala själv istället:

“I have accepted what they have told me and I am determined to make the most of what time I have left. I have been fortunate to survive this long. It is thanks to my doctors and their dedication.

“My condition is described as static and has not altered since my last bout of chemotherapy.

“They have arrested the growth of the tumours on my lungs and I have my next scan shortly.

“I am going to die sooner rather than later. But then everyone has to go sometime and I have enjoyed every minute.

“I don’t even think about it and my biggest problem today was unrelated, just old-fashioned laryngitis.

“I am not going to sit around at home thinking about what might or might not happen.

“I have always found it difficult to turn down good causes and invitations from people I know.

“My family and close friends have always said I should say ‘No’ more often and now is no different.

“It has been a hectic summer. I have watched a couple of days of Wimbledon, several days of Test cricket and Durham county cricket.

"I had my own celebrity golf tournament in Portugal and managed to enjoy a few days holiday afterwards before returning to London, where I was honoured by the Football League Managers Association.

“They not only inducted me into their Hall of Fame with a host of celebrities but it was at a special dinner, the first of its kind.”

KRYA PÅ DIG!
