Usually if you have a brain tumour it means it has spread from somewhere else. This means it unfortunately doesnāt look good for Hartson.
My oul lad died from a brain tumour late last year there. They told us though that it was confined to the brain which was meant to be good news as it hadnāt spread from somewhere else. Unfortunately the tumour was big and part of it couldnāt be removed as it was too dangerous-what followed was the worst 6-7 months watching a relatively young man dwindling away before your eyes. So itās going to be a nightmare for him and his family-I hope to hell he gets out of it somehow, thereās always some hope, you never know.
Itās scary how many people it affects. Everyone knows someone.
Cancer is a cunt.
THE news that former Celtic striker, John Hartson, has been diagnosed with cancer has stunned the entire Celtic family.
The 34-year-old now faces a tough battle as he begins treatment for the disease.
A Celtic spokesperson said: āJohn Hartson is a man whom Celtic Football Club has immense respect and affection for. He has served the club, and the game of football in general, with distinction over many years.
āClearly, everyone at the club fully supports John and his family at this extremely difficult time.
āIt is very difficult for us to understand what John is going through at the moment, but we will offer any support we can to a great Celtic player.
āThe thoughts and prayers of the entire Celtic family are with John at this time.ā
Iām not coming out or taking the piss here but Iāve had 3 different gentlemen clasp my balls in their hands lately after Jugs found a bit of a lump on one of my testicles when we were checking each othersā balls recently. No seriously, I had a bit of freak out 'cos Iād obviously read about Dermot Earley, Ronan McGarrity, Alan Stubbs and others and how ball cancer can hit young male athletes in their prime and, as those of you who encountered me at TFK Summer Jamboree will confirm, I certainly fit that prototype.
So I toddled off to the doctor and was referred to a urologist and then I was sent for an ultrasound in the hospital. I was going to ask for a copy of the picture of my balls to hang up on my wall, like the way gimps get pictures of their unborn children after those scans, but I chickened out. Anyway, all three of the lads had a good root down there and I was absolutely delighted that I didnāt get a boner on any occasion as that would have been a little bit gay.
The urologist seems pretty keen on me though and heās asked me back in a couple of weeks. I havenāt got the full all clear yet but the initial diagnosis is itās more likely to be a fluid filled cyst rather than a tumour. So I guess I need to cut down to 5 or 6 wanks a day going forward or something. I havenāt told anyone about this as Iām a man and we donāt share our inner most thoughts. However, my internet friends certainly deserve to know and Rocko and Dunph will need to draw up some contingency/succession plans if it affects my administration capabilities. cluaindiuic has IOTM nailed down so thatās under control.
But the fact that Iāve been so fucking instrumental in TFK Astro teamās 8 game winning streak over this period emphasises how mentally strong I am and I would actually give my scarily oversized (yet still aesthetically pleasing) left testicle to win this league. Ah lovely.

Isnāt that how Lance Armstrong had it?

Just give that fluid filled cyst a good squeeze and you will be right in no time:thumbsup: probably just a genital wart anyway.
Lad I know in first year in college told us he had a problem with his balls. We told him to head off to the doctor and get it checked. Your man who was a small bit innocent toddled off to the students nurse to get checked. We were all still in the flat when he came back and he was happy out said there was nothing to worry about. What was up we asked, nothing much my balls just dropped he says. Cue abuse that lasts to this day.

Good luck Johnny Bhoy.
Ironic that he was at a fundraiser a 6 days before he went to the hospital for cancer research.
I hope he pulls through this get well soon Big John
Correct, I always thought the nuts would have been the best place to get cancer as they are outside your body as such and could be removed if necessry, not the case though and they act as a transporter all over the body. Armstrong was in great shape when he got sick though which was a huge help, hartson not in the same boat
Sorry to hear about your old man pike, same thing happened my uncle last year, some cunt of a disease.
Got a massive pain and swelling in my nuts about 4 years ago myself, shit myself for about a week until I plucked up the courage to go to the doc. Turned out it was only a hernia, thank fook
Hartson wouldnāt be in too bad shape dan. Seems like a fantastic guy anyway. Real good player for Celtic and speaks his mind as a pundit which is rare on British television. Appears like a real gent. Hope he can get over this.
Thought his weight had balooned any time I saw him on tv recently is what I based it on. Have a soft spot for him as well from his time as a hammer
Thought the opposite myself in that he was slimmer than I expected. Would have imagined that his weight would have ballooned since retiring but never appeared to any time I saw him on Setanta. Would have thought he was older than 34 though.
I thought he definitely put on quite a bit of weight.
Hopefully all the messages of support heās getting are some comfort to him and his family.

great goal vs celta vigo - he was immense in that game- absolutely immense
Yeah, Rocko and myself watched that game in some seedy pub in Limerick city the company of a Malaysian guy who was absolutely mad into the Celtic. Magic stuff from Hartson that night.
Wasnāt that the same night the malaysian lad wiped your eye in Tedās
keep it on topic
Goal at Anfield on that run was superb.
fuck you, I will talk about what I want when I want, dickfuckā¦
