Best wishes to the lad, that is no picnic.

[The Bear]

Bit of a shock to read the news this morning. Hope the big guy beats it into touch. 

[Col city fan]

I hope he can find the strength to get through the chemo. His family and friends will be crucial in this

Stay strong Sol x

There is more than one type of non-Hodgkins lymphoma.  I know this as I also have this condition.  

 

There is a slow-growing version where there are initially no tumours but cancer cells are present (in the bone marrow).  This is incurable but treatable by chemotherapy.  A blood test can reveal the level of cancer - at low levels no treatment may be applied and there are routine blood tests to check.  If the level of cancer cells rises then chemotherapy can be applied to reduce the problem.  Many sufferers of non-Hodgkins lymphoma can have a near-normal lifespan.  Some may never develop tumours.

 

There is also a fast-growing version where tumours develop rapidly, and this can be fatal in only a few months.  It is curable but rapid diagnosis and treatment is necessary.

 

The slow-growing version can change to the fast-growing version at any time.

 

Fingers crossed for Sol.

On his day he was like Sergio Ramos at his pomp, and when he first came he was collosal. 
 

Best wishes Sol!

Sad news. He came across well as a pundit on Sky Sports. Get well soon big man

[Manini]

Love Sol. I borrowed one of my mates season tickets to go and watch Leeds Wolves about 4/5 years ago at Elland Road because he couldn’t go and Sol scored one of the most ridiculous goals I’ve ever seen a defender score. I was sat right behind the goal and when I say postage stamp I mean postage stamp. 
 

Always seemed like a top bloke hope he beats this. 

[Jon the Hat]

Get well soon Sol!

[LVFox]

One of those cult hero type figures who's reputation is far greater than his footballing skills.

Was lucky enough to see him bag with his first touch against Man City - even luckier to once see him spill an entire bottle of chilli oil over himself at Zizzi's.

 

Fingers crossed for the bloke!

All the best, Sol! you can do this!!!

He was ahead of his time. Worldy footballer. Fu_k 2021 already

[Saxondale]

According to anecdotal accounts, he is a lovely bloke. Obviously wish him all the best.

[Ian Nacho]

Such sad news. He's a great bloke. Remember him coming out to the car park before a game once when it was pissing it down to have a chat with and take pictures some fans.

[Zear0]

Reading in The Athletic an interview with him and all appears good so far. Said he's finished treatment and has a scan in three weeks to hopefully show he's all-clear. 

[norwichfox]

Awful news, a speedy recovery Sol
