Well done for sharing mate, and there is lots of practical advice on here. One step at a time and draw up a simple action plan. Simple things like getting outside even in winter, eating healthy, seeing & sharing with friends will help.
Most on here have experienced something similar, and we have all thrived on the wonderful progress and change of fortunes at our beloved club. As a senior going back to standing on a wooden box for a bob ticket aged 10 in 1959, I have seen some amazing highs and terrible lows.
I survived advanced prostate cancer and then a year ago I was crashed into by a car while riding my bike! Multiple fractures, hip, pelvis, ribs and learnt to walk again, and all the time, the excitement and friendship of following ITFC has kept me going. Sadly, the journey to PR is too much of a challenge now.
So, best of luck mate, and I sure you will be fine. |

Thread | Can ITFC help us make more men aware of Prostate Cancer?
at 16:28 18 Nov 2023
Following CBower's brave, honest, helpful post encouraging men to get tested, it occurs to me, as one who has survived this horrible disease and made a film about the journey to help men and partners, that perhaps we can approach the Club to help us promote awareness. 1 in 8 men will get it. It doesn't need A level Maths to work out from an amazing crowd of some 30,000 what the odds are.
I am sure there are local Suffolk Prostate Cancer charities and support groups who would welcome some form of collaboration.
I am happy to take a lead but would be glad of any ideas, contacts, suggestions. Please PM me.

Well done for sharing and shouting out!
I too had Prostate cancer back in 2015, and am alive and well. I made a documentary film about my journey to help men and their partners.Lots of practical tips to help with treatment, side effects and recovery. It has gone global. Maybe we should approach ITFC to help promote the early tests, as 1 in 8 men will get it.

Lots of luck at the next stage, we are all thinking of you. |

I spent 10 yrs of my life in humanitarian posts
and I worked alongside them in Kosovo, and they were the best international humanitarian agency. They remain so in numerous world wide conflict zones.
They deserve our support and I must now renew my annual sub! |

Tricky dilemma indeed! I faced something similar as a student touring US in 1967, with Mick Mills & the great Ray Crawford kicking off.
If I was a betting man I would aim to be back for Wembley. We all know in our heart of hearts it will be the play-offs, and we are too damn good not to get to Wembley. You will have enjoyed an amazing year already! |

Good in patches, impressed by Humphryes again. Too many wayward passes are not giving us the shooting opportunities & possesion and dominance in final 3rd.
Need another goal to settle us down.
Drifters no real threat. |

I have spent many happy times exploring and working in SE Asia. An excellent and fascinating read is The Golden Chersonese

Reply | The Warky Report: Charlton Athletic (H) Farewell, Adieu to you and you and you
at 19:16 1 May 2022
NIcely done Warky, you tell life as it is, and blokes' anxieties and not being able to talk about them really. It's good to share stuff, and yes it was a terrific last game, a performance to be proud of, and give us momentum to next season.
As one who has been unable to drive up to Portman Road - I got hit by a car while out on my bike, ended up in the A & E of the nurse driving the car! Multiple fractures, and watching & reading reports and posts has kept me sane. Not the winter I planned!
Til the end of Summer, farewell. |

Very sorry to hear that JK. I guess you might be talking about Prostate Cancer, the No1 bad news for men. I was lucky to have survived, but due to the treatment, stopped travelling up to Suffolk to watch live matches. Been a fan for 60 years!
As it happens, I produced a documentary film about Prostate cancer which many men and their partners all over the world have found helpful. If anyone on here, or you know AN Other who has been diagnosed, do put them my way and I can share the link to the Film. My son is a professional film maker and it was a great Dad & Son effort. |

And Councils will be acting as sponsors as well as providing many services, welfare, support, trauma counselling for refugees arriving. They will also help the pathways to finding work, and the endless form-filling.
We will be opening our doors and welcoming a family if all goes well. |

Important thing is, has his 'Apology' been sent or reported to the FA Disciplinary Committee? Would they change their minds having reviewed all the evidence. The sooner we get out this League the better! |

Reply | Why we shouldn't just shrug about the Lincoln call-off
at 15:21 30 Dec 2021
Excellent points. How can we find out, from the Club? Lincoln fans?
If not, how to apply pressure on the EFL?
Start a campaign perhaps. Is there already a campaign?
We all, well most of us on here, recognise the seriousness of Covid but if Clubs are 'gamechanging' the rules, bending things to suit their
clubs poor performances, buying tme etc, then that is simply not good enough. [Post edited 30 Dec 2021 15:23]
