Is this book a suitable Christmas present?
Does it come under fact or fiction?
Also, has there ever been other people in this world who have bravely managed to win a battle against cancer and continued with a full and busy life ?.........or has only one person on this planet managed this feat?

"Too busy conning people to die"
He made the quickest ever recovery in history and was soon back out with the bucket. |

He was at a race meeting when he seen Rod Stewart and went over to interview him, Rod told him to "F*@* OFF".......and Tommo never bought another Rod Stewart record after that ! The story is in the book, and re the topic question "Is this book a suitable Christmas present ?" Do you need to ask that question ! Pick it up in the pound shop next year.

Daft **** thought my mate Danny was the owner of Ayr Gold Cup winner Regal Parade a few years back, interviewing him live on air straight after the race so Danny went along with it. Class

How good a book is can be judged by it`s price on Amazon 4 weeks after publication and Tommo`s will be going for 1p, imo.

When you compare his book title to the brave fight and dignity sir henry carried around for years you see how small minded and cheap he actually is
sickening title and a kick in the teeth to the many brave folk who lose to this disease all the time , but hey if you can get a couple of quid out of it |
|
By:
In extremely poor taste by Thompson for trying to make money out of being ill (unless of course he is donating some of the proceeds to cancer research, Macmillan, etc....)
|
|
By:
The man redefines the word 'shameless'. The book title says it all about how crass he is. A damning indictment on racing that he continues to carve a successful career out of it.

Fwiw i spoke to TALKSPORT when he had his slot on there and told them in no uncertain terms they could be hit with lawsuits over the man...He was "let go" straight after..genuinely..

"Too Busy to Die"........
FFS will folks please stop employing him!! |
|
By:
that would be great.id be happy if i never heard or seen him again.hes genuinely a not nice person.no plus points about him at all.

As a title to the book I think "Too Greedy To Die" might have been more appropriate

Turned up on Today programme on R4 this morning plugging the book.
Tipped up Radiator and Soft Falling Rain he'd had the word from Newmarket! |

must have been up all night picking them two.

I'm not sure why the Betfair police took the other thread down as the thing about him falling foul of the ASA is on record and in the public domain and if he wanted to sue over a stain on his character regarding the spat with Hugo Palmer then it would all come out in court anyway.

has he been given the nod he deffo is dying?
|
|
By:
no hes made a full, quick, miraculous recovery
|

By:
He was diagnosed with a bowel tumour and bowel cancer can be a killer if left unidentified for too long, so I supposed it all depends on how you look at it as to whether he was considered to be dying or not but he had surgery for it anyway. Caught early enough it has a high survival rate of 5 years or more but a very low one for that same time period if a late diagnosis.
I have this theory that the reason why so many famous people either come through illness or have a greater life expectancy that the average person once they are diagnosed is that I'm sure many have private healthcare either personal or tied on with the job, that requires them to have a full health MOT every 6 to 12 months and any problems are found earlier than the average person who either can't or won't go to the doctor. |

my owner boss--taxi---60ish
went very quickly bowel cancer---within 7 months I was quite shocked |
|
By:
Many people will have had bowel cancer for a long while before it is diagnosed. Once it spreads elsewhere the chances of recovery are not so good. Early diagnosis and treatment are keys to survival.

I am a bowl cancer patient.
Have a brain scan on the 7th of Oct. due to intense pain....big worry for me, but I keep "busy" and won't be selling a book even though I work in the entertainment business with plenty of stories I could tell. |

all the best paul
|
|
By:
your book would probably be far more interesting paul,best of luck.
by the way,do you have chemotherapy treatment for this type of cancer. |
|
By:
knot......yes had chemo for year....pretty horrible due to constant sickness but it helped with no repeat tumour in the bowel do far.
|
|
By:
does chemo fill bloodcells?
|
|
By:
know from family experience the chemo is very tiring,thats why big fella's quick recovery surprised me.
hope things go well for you paul. |

By:
xmoneyx.....kills cancer cells that may travel around the body...but can damage healthy ones as well which can cause some problems.
|
|
By:

|

By:
Plenty of blood tests during treatment......to see what is going on with the cells.
