Lemmy Kilmister, Motorhead

[Doc Alan]

It’s possible that the " tumors in brain and neck " diagnosed following a " brain scan " - as reported in the press release by his manager with Lemmy’s prior agreement - COULD have arisen in the prostate gland.


Cancer of this organ is one of the commonest in men worldwide. However, it would be uncommon for first diagnosis at an advanced stage with no symptoms apart from " not feeling well ", " looking gaunt ", with " speech a little odd ". It usually develops slowly, eventually with urinary symptoms ( which can also occur in the absence of cancer ). The cancer may eventually spread - both directly around the prostate and to lymph nodes, bones such as vertebrae in back and neck, and other organs such as lungs and brain.


If members wish to know more, there’s a thread on the topic ( http://filipinaroses.com/showthread....534#post542534 ).


( " Prostrate " means lying stretched out on the ground, completely overcome or helpless ).


RIP Ian " Lemmy " Kilmister.

's true, Alan ... the tumours could well have been metastasis - something which'd occurred to me afterwards - !
