Bristol Rovers can confirm that defender Nick Anderton has been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.

As a result of this, Nick will undergo an operation in the coming weeks to remove this part of the bone.

Nick has issued the following statement:

"Unfortunately, this rare form of cancer which is affecting my femur means that I’ll be undergoing an operation in the coming weeks.
 
"This diagnosis has come as a huge shock to both myself and my family; however, we are remaining positive and hopeful.
 
"I want to thank everyone at Bristol Rovers, especially Club Doctor Ian Ferguson and Head of Medical Stuart Leake, the specialists at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham and my family for their continued support.
 
I want to wish the boys all the best for the upcoming season, starting this Saturday back at The Mem. Hopefully I can be swinging off another traffic light on Gloucester Road come May! ?
 
Nick ?"

Sad news, good luck for a speedy recovery fella.

Best of luck to the lad.  Horrible news and with part of the bone being removed hard to see how his career can come back from that if he does beat it.

I wish the lad well in his fight against this horrible disease.

I've had the first dose of a daily four week long course of radiation treatment today.

Blue or red ....it doesn't discriminate!

And the very best of luck to you too buddy. Hope it all goes very very well.
