I hear that he will be on Jools Holland's New Year show.

Yes it's great news, at the time he announced it was terminal I noticed all the more because I was in the middle of a 6 month wait to find out whether I had bowel cancer myself. It turned me into a bit of a Dr Feelgood fan.

That's amazing. How wonderful, good luck to him. As you say pompa, it must give hope to all cancer sufferers (including my husband, although his
prognosis is good) smile

Seeing Wilko Johnson on BBc news this morning, it must give hope to all cancer sufferers.

Just a few months ago he was on his farewell tour, suffering from pancreatic cancer. His tumour was said to be inoperable. Apparently a surgeon from Addenbrooke's got interested and said he could now operate, Wilko is now cancer free and has his life before him again. His tumor weighed 3kg !.
It just shows how quickly cancer treatments improve and those with incurable cancers can be treated.
I look forward to Wilko's next album.
