The voice of Darts Sid Waddell has been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer, Just hope he make's it through this horrible disease and gets better and makes a full recovery.
My Grandad died in hospital with bowel cancer in 1970, and I still remember my dad telling me this, before the golden age of mobile phones That he and my mum went to visit him in the afternoon, but he had passed away in the morning and the hospital couldn't get hold of them, the shock and grief they must of felt when they got to the hospital to be told that he had passed away and that my dad never had the chance to say goodbye to his dad

Wish him well. Sid's a legend.
I had a similar misfortune to your parents. Lives long in the heart for sure

Firstly, best of luck Sid and get well. Cancer is a horrible fucking desease but it can be beaten.
When my dad died a couple years ago he was diagnosed with cancer on a Thursday or Friday and he was dead the following Wednesday. It was so sudden and shocking to watch this once active healthy man deteriorate so quickly in front of us. But we were "lucky" in one way in that we were all with him in his final hours as he passed away and we got to say all those things we should have said so much more often while he was alive. But it was incredibly cathartic for us to have that time with him and I like to think it eased his passing to have his wife and kids with him at the end.
For those of you lucky enough not to have lost a close loved one yet - just tell them you love them a bit more often. Put to bed any silly rows you've had. Life is short and fragile and can be taken away in the blink of an eye.
Fuckin hell I've never had so many good wishes
