    Think this is the same as my uncle was diagnosed with, he was gone within a few weeks.

    Get well soon Mr Petrov.

    A horrible disease. My Mum was diagnosed 2 years ago and it has been a uphill battle to try and manage her meds with everyday life. Even everyday life, isn't a patch on what it once was.

    Feel deeply for Petrov and his family, they have a long hard road ahead, but hopefully they will be able to bring his condition to a manageable level.

    Very sad - prognosis kind of depends on what type AML, ALL, APL etc... and what sub types. My Mrs had ALL at 21 - chemo, radio, Bone Marrow transplant and fine fit and dandy 18 years later so its not all bad.. wish him and family all the very best - going to be interesting for him getting a drugs test when he's back playing again... you get given shed loads of steroids and not sure how long their metabolites hang around in the system - but at least he'll have a genuine excuse

    All the best Stilyan!

    ...and yet you managed to compose yourself to tell the world about it.
    Social Networking does my head in nowadays.
    Good luck to Petrov.

    Pray for Petrov etc. Or just pray for everyone with cancer, or any illness. Or have a good old moan at god for dishing out the cancer? I'm not sure how it works. If god is a Bolton fan will he even care about this one?

    Sad news anyway and hope he comes through it alright, decent player for ages now. Good luck to him. And Abidal for that matter, he's been damn unlucky with his health.

    Excellent news. My girlfriend was diagnosed AML a few years back so I've been following his progress pretty closely, honestly the treatment is f*cking brutal, she came through it though (twice) and hopefully this is the start of Petrov's recovery.

    Gosh the guy looks really unwell still if that photo is recent.

    Great news that he is in remission, and finished with the harshest treatments. Long may his recovery continue.
