I just seen this on SPN and i wish him luck in his fight against it.

Shame, I rate him as Villa's best player (after Heskey of course) when he's on song.

what is Acute Leukaemia

i mean is it fatal

Horrible news

Is this the cancer that makes you lose hair?

Not always, no.

Isn't it the chemotherapy that makes you lose hair?

You might be thinking of alapecia

Acute leukemia is characterized by a rapid increase in the numbers of immature blood cells. Crowding due to such cells makes the bone marrow unable to produce healthy blood cells. Immediate treatment is required in acute leukemia due to the rapid progression and accumulation of the malignant cells, which then spill over into the bloodstream and spread to other organs of the body.

Career over then

and yes, it's the chemotherapy that makes your hair fall out.

Yup.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't acute leukemia the one where you need immediate treatment?

Yes. 5-year survival rates are also much lower in acute leukemia as opposed to chronic leukemia.

I assume they caught it early, seeing as Petrov is way younger than typical patients and that he has access to much better medical staff then most people.

Get well soon Stiliyan Petrov, praying for ya. Such sad news after Abidal and Muamba.

His body is strong, he'll beat this shit. Best of luck.

Damn, that's a bad one. Best of luck, Petrov.

Devastating, get well soon Stilyan. One of my favourite Celtic players. Hope he can beat this

Life is a shit house at times.
Hope he pulls through. Great player, very under-rated.

Fuck this, he's a great athlete, professional football player, most likely a very healthy lifestyle and still gets cancer .

I'll pray for him, wish him the best of luck and strength to fight this horrible disease, he'll have access to the best available medical treatment there is so the chance to survive should be fairly big.

By the way, this is nothing like what Abidal had, he 'only' had a benign tumour while Petrov has blood cancer, obviously that'll be the end of his playing career .

A guy in my class when we were in year 8 died of leukaemia, but my friends cousin survived it when she was 7.

So there is hope for Petrov.


I'm not really onto this #Pray4Petrov hype though. Seems like its just a recent fad people are going through an only doing it because of the Pray4Muamba.


I would rather a get well soon Petrov

Wow.

Hope he recovers fully.

I know the message of 'praying' for someone is great, but surely if there was a God he wouldn't have got cancer in the first place.

Blame God.

Well, actually genetics and evolution, Evolution only cares about breeding, not what happens after that. God is just a jackass.

Fucking hell, stunned. Literally don't know what to say, get will soon man.

Fucking hell, he used to be my favourite player.

My step-granddad has had it for 18 years, he'll always have it but he's still keeping himself fit and healthy.
