      Football and sport have the power to enrich our lives.. but nothing is more important than life itself

      by

      “SOME people believe football is a matter of life and death. I can assure you it is much more important than that.”Those words from the great Bill Shankly have resonated over the years but without wishing to dilute his remarkable legacy, our own health and happiness does mean everything.Dortmund’s ex-West Ham ace Sebastien Haller announced he is cancer freeCredit: GettyWales star David Brooks is back to near his best after Hodgkin lymphomaCredit: GettyIt is, in truth, more important.Former West Ham star Sebastien Haller has just announced he is free from cancer after a long battle and, hopefully, he can continue to excel at the highest level for Borussia Dortmund and Ivory Coast.Just last month, 29-year-old  Haller scored the winner as his country beat Nigeria 2-1 in the  Africa Cup of Nations final.His illness just shows this can happen to kings, princesses, paupers as well as players.READ MORE TOP FOOTBALLIn the last few weeks, our own King and the Princess of Wales have bravely announced they are fighting cancer.Both can be assured the nation is backing them in their battle.They have shown class and composure in dealing with  the worst life  can throw at them and they are not alone. As well as Haller,  Bournemouth and Wales winger David Brooks is proof of what can be done.Now on loan at Southampton, the 26-year-old star has been cancer-free for nearly two years.Most read in FootballBrooks admitted football paled into insignificance when he fought back from stage two Hodgkin lymphoma.When he made his first-team comeback for the Cherries he was cheered to the rafters by both sets of supporters at Aston Villa.Sebastian Haller breaks down and fights back tears as he opens up on battle with testicular tumour at award ceremony Like Haller, Brooks is bouncing back and came on as a second-half sub this week as the Welsh went within a whisker of qualifying for this   summer’s Euros.Proving that cancer can strike  anyone, it even afflicted one of the modern-day greats, Arjen Robben.The flying Dutchman won accolades galore in the game but for the first time in his life football came second when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, having found a lump.That was 20 years ago.Mercifully, Robben, now 40, survived and went on to enjoy a stellar career at Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, winning the league in all  three countries.At the time of his diagnosis, Robben said: “Football is no longer important.“The most important thing is to be healthy and for your family to  be healthy.”And so say all of us. In the women’s game, former Arsenal star Jen Beattie, 32, overcame breast cancer to enjoy a glittering career, while New Zealand’s 30-year-old Rebekah Stott successfully battled stage 3 Hodgkin lymphoma.But perhaps the most eye-catching has been Colombia’s 19-year-old  sensation Linda Caicedo, who lit up last summer’s World Cup just four years after overcoming ovarian cancer.Arjen Robben is another leading name to recover from cancerRebekah Stott successfully fought stage 3 Hodgkin lymphomaCredit: GettySadly, for every happy ending there is a tragic one and the cruel, early death of West Ham’s own Dylan Tombides is one of the saddest times I will ever experience at the club.Dylan fought to the very end but at the age of just 20, testicular cancer took his life.West Ham have only ever retired two shirts — and Dylan’s is one of them. The No 38 will never be worn.It is a fitting tribute to a wonderful young man, who died almost exactly ten years ago.The other shirt, of course, is No 6 and belongs to the great Bobby Moore.Testicular cancer first struck him two years before he led England to World Cup glory in 1966.Bobby heroically overcame that illness but cancer returned and, in 1993 and aged  just 51, we lost our national treasure.Football and sport have the power to enrich our lives.READ MORE SUN STORIESBut more important than life itself? I don’t think so.As they say, health isn’t everything but without health, everything is nothing. More

Two ‘silent’ symptoms of pancreatic cancerBY ISABEL SHAW
      PANCREATIC cancer is often known as a ‘silent killer’ because it’s symptoms are so hard to spot – especially in the early stages.
      However, there are a couple of early signs which people are being urged to look out for.
      Symptoms to look out for are back pain, indigestion, stomach pain and weight loss.
      But researchers have now identified two more, lesser-known symptoms.
      In a study last year, researchers at the University of Oxford found that increased thirst and dark yellow urine can both be caused by pancreatic cancer. 
      Dr Weiqi Liao, a data scientist at the university, said: “When pancreatic cancer is diagnosed earlier, patients have a higher chance of survival.
      “It is possible to diagnose patients when they visit their GP, but both patients and GPs need to be aware of the symptoms associated with pancreatic cancer.”
      Pancreatic cancer is the eleventh most common type of cancer in the UK and the sixth highest cause of cancer death.
      The cancer has the lowest survival rate of any common cancer in the UK – with more than half of patients dying within three months of diagnosis.
      The disease affects a large gland that is part of the digestive system – the pancreas is located behind the stomach and under the liver.
      It has two main functions: dripping digestive enzymes into the gut to help break down food, and releasing the hormones insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar.
      Pancreatic cancer occurs when malignant – cancerous – cells form in the tissues of the pancreas.
      As with all cancers, there are certain things that can increase the risk of developing the disease.
      According to Cancer Research UK, smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes and chewing tobacco all increase pancreatic cancer risk.
      They found that nearly one in three pancreatic cancers (about 30 per cent) may be linked to smoking.

      The Benfica faithful showed their support for Neves by chanting his name at the end of the game.
      And the support of his fans brought the young midfielder to tears.
      Benfica drew 0-0 with Toulouse on the night, which was enough to see them advance through to the next round.
      Neves has played 38 times in all competitions for Benfica this year, despite being just 19 years old.

      He has already been capped three times by Portugal.
      A combative deep-lying midfielder in the Rodri mould, Neves was linked with a big money move to the Premier League in the summer and January.
      United were interested in the midfielder last summer, although the emergence of Kobbie Mainoo in his position may see their interest in him cool.
      He has also attracted the interest of Arsenal as they look to replace Thomas Partey in the summer.

      Neves was thrust into the Benfica first team last year when he was just 18 to replace the outgoing Enzo Fernandez, who signed for Chelsea in a £107million deal.
      Benfica were playing in the play-off of the Europa League after dropping down from the Champions League this year.

      Sebastien Haller’s amazing story from testicular tumour to ‘f*** cancer’ boots and emotional tears after Afcon winner

      by

      SEBASTIEN HALLER broke down in tears when he reflected on his incredible comeback after beating cancer. The striker was overcome with emotion in his post-match interview inside the Alassane Ouattara Stadium after scoring the winner to seal the Afcon trophy for Ivory Coast on Sunday.

      In January 2023 Haller showed off his incredible new “f*** cancer” football boots ahead of his Borussia Dortmund debut
      He said: “We dreamed of this moment so many times,
      “We hoped to get to this point and once again the match wasn’t an easy one.
      “The joyous scenes we see now, what’s happening in the country, they deserve it too. I really hope it does a lot of people good.”
      It was not only a fairytale win for the tournament hosts, but also for Haller – who was diagnosed with testicular cancer 18 months ago.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      July 18, 2022 was supposed to be a normal day in training for the Borussia Dortmund forward.
      The German side had began their pre-season tour of Switzerland, with Haller joining the squad less than two weeks after arriving from Ajax for £31million.
      But Haller’s life was turned upside down when he reported feeling unwell in the morning.
      Further examinations discovered that the ex-West Ham forward had a testicular tumour that was confirmed as cancer just hours later.
      Most read in Football
      ROAD TO RECOVERY
      Messages of support flooded in after Ajax player held up their former team-mate’s shirt number before beating Red Bull Salzburg in a friendly the following day.
      Haller was all smiles though as he shared a photo on social media from a hospital bed before embarking on his first round of treatment three days after his diagnosis.
      The caption of the picture read: “Good evening everyone I wanted to inform you that the 1st step has been accomplished!
      “I would like to thank [Borussia Dortmund] and the medical team who have been exceptional with me.

      “A big thank you also to all the hospital caregivers for their support and kindness 🙏🏽💪🏾”
      Just over a month later, Haller fought back tears as he appeared at an awards ceremony after finishing the previous season as the Eredivisie’s top scorer at Ajax.
      In his acceptance speech, Haller thanked his friends and family for their unwavering support after starting chemotherapy, as he admitted “I’m lucky to have people around me”.
      Haller netted 21 goals in 31 appearances for Ajax, helping them win the Dutch title.
      The forward had started chemotherapy, and looked very different on the awards stage without his usual full head of hair.

      EPIC COMEBACK
      Eyebrows were raised over whether Haller would ever play football again following two gruelling surgeries and four rounds of chemotherapy.
      Just six months later he was back on the training pitch in the opening days of January 2023.
      He unveiled new boots with the message “f*** cancer” on them after finding the net in warm up friendlies to show there were no signs of rust.
      Haller was thrown straight back into the team by manager Edin Terzic.
      It was written in the stars that he would net his first competitive goal since his treatment on World Cancer Day against Freiburg on February 4.
      The striker went onto score nine goals in 19 league games that term, keeping his side in touching distance of Bayern Munich in the title race.
      Haller said at the time that missing out on the Bundesliga title with Borussia Dortmund was WORSE than hearing he’d been diagnosed with testicular cancer.
      FINAL FLOURISH
      Afcon was the golden opportunity to put things right.
      But it was far from plain sailing with him not playing a single minute in the group stages due to an ankle injury.
      And Ivory Coast made it into the knockout stages by the skin of their teeth after losing two of their three matches and going through as the best third-placed team.
      Haller scored his spot-kick for Ivory Coast – who sacked their manager before the end of the group stage – against Senegal in the last 16 clash.
      In the semi-finals Haller was finally fit enough to start against DR Congo.
