to want this bastard to be told to get lost

[Blandmum]

Here

Sweet Jesus I wish we were as 'unlucky' as this man. What I wouldn't give fo dh to have been misdiagnosed.

[Galmum]

Thanks..he was a complete star - a happy, gorgeous little boy who was seriously tough and never complained, unlike that old moaner.

I may tell dh about this when he gets home...he can visualise the old git when he goes on the punchbag - hope that makes you feel better!!

[Blandmum]

hugs to you Galmum. Bless your little darling.

[Galmum]

Martianbishop - this man needs his arse kicked out of court and down the street What a moaning, thoughtless selfish idiot. How can he go public - has he no shame??!! There really is no pleasing some people!

My 3 year old little boy died of cancer last June - I daydreamed about being told that someone had got it wrong - I would have been over the moon.

We spent one night in that hospital in Cornwall with my son - we were on holiday and became unwell, so we had to take him in. They really were so kind and helpful.

[foxinsocks]

gawd, I saw this and really hoped you wouldn't see it.

I reckon he also got money for the story which made me because he must know that other people (with cancer, or relatives of) would get to read it.

[misdee]

here yes he is a twonk.

similar story was in local press here a few months ago, made dh very mad. bloke whining because he had gotton his life back.

[Fimbo]

I can't get the story up either, but the silly man will probably get paid a fortune for "his story" by the Sunday tabloids.

[misdee]

cant get the story up.

[NomDePlume]

I saw this and was speechless ! The fact that the guy not only 'spent all of his money' but also stopped paying his mortgage at diagnosis was his own stupid fault. serves him bloody right if he loses everything financially.

I do sympathise with him at the trauma and distress he must've experienced at receiving such a horrific diagnosis and then being told he'd got his life back, so to speak, but to be so financially irresponsible is entirely his own look-out.

[coppertop]

I heard this on Jeremy Vine and thought of your dh too, MB. I'm afraid I switched the radio off before the man had finished whining...erm..speaking because I just couldn't believe someone would be so un-bloody-grateful.

[LazyLine]

So this guy is seeking monetary compensation to prevent it happening to other people? Sure....

Twonk. He should realise how lucky he is.

[Blandmum]

Orm, the guy on the next drip to dh was really happy today because the doctor had got enough money to give him six weeks more treatment.

Words cannot express how fucking angry this man makes me.

[speedymama]

Who told him to stop paying his mortgage?

[OrmIrian]

"and to help everyone out at Treliske [Hospital] so they don?t have to go through what I did" by taking money out of the NHS so that they won't be treated presumably.
Why did he blow it all? I don't think that would be first reaction to a terminal diagnosis but who knows...

I think that I'd be hugging the consultant that told me the good (if belated) news TBH.

[Blandmum]

Well, no, that is because my wonderful dh can only sleep at night, knowing that he has provided for his family after his death. Him being a nice, unselfish, sane person and all that.

[fryalot]

mb - your eurodisney holiday was nothing like what this twunt has done.

[fryalot]

wannabe - quick hijack, sorry - what happened with your eyes? I remember you saying that there was weird stuff happening and I didn't catch any other threads about it. Hope you don't mind me asking

[Blandmum]

When I think of the hours that dh has spent, sorting out our finances so that we will be OK 'after' it makes me want to spit.

Yes, we have done things that we wouldn't have otherwise, a great holiday in Eurodisney, for example, But if they told me that dh would live, I'd be delighted. This arse deserves to be dropped in the middle of the oncology unit I spent the afternnon in, and explain his case to all the people in there who are dying of the same disease.

Stupid cunt!

[wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe]

oh yeh I saw him on news24 last night - what an arse. they're saying he wasn't mis diagnosed though? and that presented with the evidence, ie the tumour etc the diagnoses would have been the same. can't believe he stopped paying his mortgage etc.

[IcingOnTheCake]

i would be very annoyed at the doctors who said he had cancer but at the same time be thankful they got it wrong. material things come and go but without your health you can't enjoy ya life to the full if that makes sense.

[fryalot]

totally agree.

He's an arse of the highest order and I hope the court tell him in no uncertain terms to
fuck off

[KathyMCMLXXII]

MB I mean, not MN

[tissy]

Bl**dy hell!

I hope he gets laughed out of court!

If I was told I was dying , I wouldn't blow the lot, I would try and make sure that my affairs were in order, so that my family weren't left in debt. He "stopped paying the mortgage" FGS! Did he think that the life insurance would pay up before his wife was evicted from the house? What if he lived a bit longer than expected, and he the bank foreclosed on the mortgage before he died, would he have played the "you wouldn't evict a dying man" card? He was seriously irresponsible, and I don't think the hospital should pay him a penny.

[KathyMCMLXXII]

Yes MN

Actually I could be wrong - he might not be lying , just be being very very stupid.

[Blandmum]

Is a 'little disengenous' a euphamism for utter bullshit????

[ungratefuldaughter]

if he splashed out on family and friends perhaps they could have a whip round and help him out now
