Well done to Nathan McGough and everyone who's helping him out

A woefully underfunded bunch of 'bastards', surely?


Keep on keepin' on, Tone.

This whole postcode lottery is a disgrace. When my old man had his heart attack 3 years ago he had to get fitted with a defibulator to keep his ticker from going off at a weird rate.

A bloke he works beside needs the same thing but because it costs £20K to fit and maintain and he live sunder a different NHS Trust he can't get one. A disgrace. Especially when, as Wilson stated, there's funding available for so many cosmetic procedures these days.

Would it perhaps be an idea to get a donations function added to the homepage here for ol' Tone? I'd happily contribute a few quid to this instead of another bloody Community album!

Over to you Spotnick....

a new order benefit concert?

Too right Tony should rail against NHS over the very idea of cosmetic surgery being done at taxpayer's expense. That cancer drug deserves to be more available.

Anyhow, chin up Tony

I've been waiting to hear your voice for too long now,
One way conversations do not work somehow.....

Actually, if anyone is reading this that has details of the fund (ie how we can contribute to it) then it would be good if they could let us know.

Quite right.There are enough people on this board who i'm sure wouldn't mind chipping in a few quid.He has, after all had a hand in giving us some of the best music the world has ever heard over the past 30 years.

My stepdad is dying of cancer at the moment (I'm not being morbid, he has Myloma which is incurable) and watching Wilson on Newsnight the other night was wierd because you could see that the treatment and the illness has done the same to Wilson as it has to my stepdad; made them frail old men.

That being said, most of it is the treatment because it is so aggressive (especially when the cancer was as far advanced as Wilson's obviously was).

The smallest thing can make someone take a huge turn for the worse, but to be honest if you've got cancer then you are still top of the list for treatment in any NHS hospital, and I reckon this isn't the last chapter of the Wilson story. Just yet.

Knew a good friend of mine who beat cancer the first time. Second time around, however, she lost to it. But she never went down without a good strong fight, and even stronger faith. I know she's watchin' over Tony right now, I'm sure of it.

Same with my great-grandmother [RIP Ana-Julia '83]; cancer took her before I even came on this earth to know her. And as Melly said the first time Tony was fighting this:

It really doesn't discriminate as a disease, does it?

Again, in agreement. It took great-grandma, took my friend Terri. Took lives of those we may have known and loved. And it could even get one of our own here. There has to be a way to stop it.

God bless, Tony, and kick that cancer in the ass, Sir! All the best from the S-TO.

My Father and the NHS beat his Cancer. I hope Tony gets well soon.

Why is it we can find Billions to bomb Iraq to bits but Cancer treatment is mainly funded by charity?

Alas, a sad reality. Said billions that could've gone to a better cause.

Well said there, Digi Sir.
