Good luck mate. I remember reading a long while ago and I’m pretty far from an expert but from my very NFI perspective if you have to get it, the type he has is the one you want so very treatable is accurate?
The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after.

If you’re going to get cancer that’s one of the ones to pick. High rates of successful treatment. Hoping for the best for him.

Lost my old man to cancer before we won the flag last year (he would have loved to see that). But Ant is much younger and stronger and certainly has the intestinal fortitude to get himself through the treatment. All the best big fella. What we'd do to have you and Sav in our 2024 forward line.

Love both the Rocca boys- they were the epitome of what I love about the Magpies.

Pebbles was such a warrior, but also a very talented big forward. His strong pack marks and booming kicks were a delight for all footy fans...

I am sure that he will prevail over this illness.

There is no doubt in my mind that this much-loved footy family will not want for support through this ordeal.

Floreat Pica Anthony and Saverio.
