SIR HENRY CECIL

All the racing world and more would second that.

I thot he looked a bit stronger today , im encouraged by that

thought he looked better today than york

Come on Henry, you've beat it once and can do so again. Then train Frankel as a 5 year old.

agreed

Fantastic trainer and man.

I really hope he gets through it having lost 3 members of my family to cancer.

Henry and the GOAT back next year together pls

In my edumacated opinion Sir Henry is looking better.
Hope Frank provides a big tonic!

Looks stronger and definatley put weight on , great stuff

hear hear to all the above

WELL DONE SIR HENRY

Was at Ascot today and now watching the BBC coverage. Hardly encouraging for his future to see him smoking in one of the boxes!

Come on, I think he knows his fate and is just enjoying what time he has left, and so he should.

his colour is a bit of a worry....and 2nd time cancer usually gets you...........horrible disease

good luck sir henry you can beat it !

Quite right Cash, speaking for a great many racegoers.  Just home from Ascot so thank you Sir H keep bringing joy too all.

the man is a legend , always was and always will be. I met him when i was a young lad in the curragh, it was the day commander and chief won the derby. I was around 14 i think and i dropped the pen with nerves when i asked him to sign the programme. He bent over and picked up my pen for me and wished me good luck for the future. No airs or graces about the man. Im really really happy that a horse like Frankel has made things a bit better for him while hes so sick.

He was in a Broadsheet last weekend and talked about his cancer.

He said he had completed cycle 4 of 5 of his chemotherapy treatment and had lost weight and hair as a result. He was more concerned about the hair loss (His words.)

He said his doctors prognosis was very good and they expected the rancid disease to have been beaten by year's end.

Good luck to him.

apologist..........what cancer has he got....is it stomach cancer

yes

cant believe he has not give up smoking .......thats mad

really apologist?  did not read that

sounds promising

fingers crossed, but from what i have heard, what i see and backing up what cardiffc said earlier about 2nd time around

not good.

Non-Hodgkins Lymmphoma cardiffc.

Currently affecting his chest. One of the reasons his voice sounds coarse (Pushing on his vocal cord).

Verbatim,

"I've had three or four sessions of chemotherapy over the last four months, one more to go, and the scans have been very good. The original cancer I has six years ago has gone. This was a new cancer on my chest, and it was pressing on my vocal cord, damaging nerves and causing me to lose my voice....The cancer is shrinking, it's losing its strength, and the doctors are pretty confident that by the end of the year I will be one hundred percent."

Fantastic news for him and his closest.

Get well soon Sir Henry, in these days when knighthoods are handed out like confetti. You deserve every honour bestowed upon you..

though i have never smoked myself but my mother was a smoker and she had heart trouble......the doctor told her to give up smoking or she would be dead in 2 years......she  couldnt and  died 23 months later........so i realise how hard it is to give up

Sir Henry and the many great horses he has trained have given me so much enjoyment and pleasure over the last 35 years.  I wish him the very best of luck in his continued battle against this dreadful disease.

Cecil and Cauthen..... great days.

is his first wife julie still alive

She is cardifffc.

Mentions her in the interview. They've remained close friends.

Describes her as his second best friend after Jane.

apolo...........i know he has a son with natalie but how many did he have with julie

gutless fcuk run the dam horse overseas

Do you think Cecil decides where Frankel runs?

Get a grip.

I didnt realise he was so on top off it , fantastic news and many more hip hips to come

A gentlemen, god bless you Henry, hoping you win this battle.

And so say all of us.

All the threads that have been started today about him and Frankel and it's clear that to a man we are all pulling for Sir Henry to get better.

Lets hope he does exactly that, a highly respected man in the racing community.
