Sorry to hear your news Tr1boy but take comfort in that his illness was short and he didn't go on to suffer.
In the same boat at the moment as my Dad has been diagnosed but they know where it is and have treated it. It won't be cured but keeping all fingers and toes crossed the treatment will help and he'll be okay for a while. Also came out of the blue as well.
Good luck with the race.

Re: Vale Dad
Thanks again. There is a 75mile race tomorrow that I'm entered into. It was part of preparation for an upcoming week in the French Alps. Just had a txt from my mum to say she wants me to do it and remember him.
I have his retirement watch here, I'm going to put it in my jersey pocket and ride the race 'with him'.

Re: Vale Dad
Hi hope your race went well!
I don't want to hijack this thread but I've had messages from some of you and wanted to say thanks for your thoughts.
We had a bad day yesterday after an email arrived (damn time difference) from Mum to say doc had said weeks instead of months. Sleepless night but better news this morning. First doc (a young slip of a girl as described by Mum) had said this but more mature experienced doc said he could have months which instantly made him feel better. Thanks first doc...
He's going to be in hospital for another week or so and then they are sending him home where hopefully he will get some better rest. There are two old boys in the ward who keep having barnies and disturbing everyone else.
So currently planning trip back for slightly better reasons than I was yesterday morning!
I have to say the NHS and the care services have been amazing so far
