Nick Anderton : Rovers player diagnosed with cancer

[Fordy62]

Awful news for their player battling cancer. Seems biopsy shows it was more aggressive than thought and he’s undergoing chemo. 

I think you’ll all join me in wishing him the best.

Absolutely. Only one rival in this fight.

All the best Nick.

That’s awful news.

Feel for him and his family, hope his treatment is successful and makes a full recovery.

Best wishes to Nick Anderton for a successful recovery, obviously. No colours where cancer is concerned

This topic deserves its own thread due to the seriousness of the condition

It also gives us a place to send positive and supportive messages at this difficult time for Nick 

Let's hope that he wins this battle and he is back living a normal life as soon as possible 

 

[bpexile]

Shocking news, as others have said club rivalry has no place in these matters. 

All the very best for a successful & full recovery.

[TedsHeadIs Red]

All the best thoughts to him and his family. 

[frenchred]

All the very best young man, thoughts to his family and loved ones #cancerhasnocolours xx

[ScottishRed]

As someone who is currently fighting this odious disease my heart goes out to the lad.

As said above football and rivalry means absolutely nothing in circumstances like this.

[LondonBristolian]

Best wishes to him. Hope the treatment is successful, the side effects as minimal as they can be and that he is fully recovered and playing again as soon as possible. I also really hope him and his family are getting all the support they need.

[myol'man]

Praying for you  fella

Hope you can fight back to full fitness

[Red-Robbo]

No football divisions on such important issues.

All Reds will wish Nick all the best in his fight against this horrible condition, and we also wish strength to him, his family and friends over the ups and downs ahead.

 

[Port Said Red]

Agree with all above, Nick you have everyone's support in this battle. We all want to see you back on a pitch soon.

Maybe Scotty could give him a signed shirt from the club to show us all we are all thinking of him as a club

I’m not sure a signed shirt, but a shirt bearing his name and number I think would be a nice touch. 

[Fordy62]

Is there anyone who has Scotty’s number, or who might tweet him suggesting the above? I would… but I’m currently a little bit banned for calling a Tory a ***. 

Personally I wouldn’t go with signed, but maybe just a message of support.

Good luck Nick.  

[Lanterne Rouge]

Keep fighting fella, you can beat this.

 

[RoystonFoote'snephew]

Stay strong. We're all with you. You can beat this. In my prayers for you and your family. 

[Simon bristol]

Good luck to the lad, keep fighting!

Years back, there were occasionally charity fan-games (did the Trust organise them?) - wonder if the fit and healthy could do something to support the fella, especially given that the club have been advertising the pitch for rent?

@LondonBristolian just come back to this thread. Being someone who is currently going through this I have to report that my experience has been outstanding. 

Clearly there are lots of things that are currently going on in the NHS and they do need to be urgently resolved but, I can confirm that the staff at the RUH are magnificent, I have nothing to complain about at all.

The care and compassion that they offer cancer suffers is above and beyond.

There is also lots of additional- non-hospital related - support available too.

Again, I send good wishes to this young lad for a full and speedy recovery.

[BTRFTG]

As all decent folks would, I wish him well in his recovery and recuperation.
