MY LITTLE BROTHER HAS CANCER

In March of this year my little brother( although hes not that little at the minute ) went for a routine appointment at the doctors and there began a journey that we have found ourself on since then.
he was sent for a scan to hospital because of some problems he was having with his blood. It was there that he was diagnosed with a bowel tumour. It was first thought that it could be removed by surgery but after further investigations the need for cheemotheray treatment was advised. i have tried to keep lighthearted, to keep bro smiling throughout this journey because i do believe that laughter is the best medicine. The cancer has now travelled to his liver and surgery has been ruled out completely.I do not know anything about blogs but thought i would share our journey with whoever may wish to join us. Its been a fun ride and we are still on it. It has brought the two of us closer together than we have ever been( even though i ridicule him along the way)........


March 2013... bro has taken time off work he works as a manager at Warbutons Bakery. his cheemotherapy is starting. He has had to stop playing his beloved crown green bowls till he is over the first batch of cheemotherapy......a verse for my bro.. JOHN ANDRWEW ECCLES

Just a little short fat arsed lad who makes us smile
One who sometimes makes us  happy for a while
Humour comes second nature to my little bruv
Next to eating that is…..which is still his main love

And now I’m told his head will soon be bald
Nickname of chrome dome or cue ball hell be called
Don’t think he’d have a  hairpiece, perhaps a big hat,
Rash comes to mind the last time he had that! (herpes)
Eat what you want the doc said….but not a curry by eck
What with the chemo as well, you will shit yourself in a sec

Even with the drugs can I play bowls…he asked with a frown
Course stick to flat,…cos for years you’ve been  shit on the crown
Can I go back to work then….can I continue to be a masterbaker
Look go back to work…but leave your todger alone or you will meet your maker
Eccys a great guy though and will beat this no fear of that
Supported by all who love you.. You short arsed fat twat.xxx
