Helping a Friend

Hello All,

I realize that this may not be the right board to post this on but I guess this is a good a place as any.

This post is about my friend Soraya, who was diagnosed with cancer recently. A very rare cancer. It has only been reported in 11 people in the world when it involves the spine. It's call Leiomyosarcoma.

Her surgery took 27 hours because it was inside the L2 vertabrae and also pushing on the spinal nerves. They had to take this tumor out intact without cutting it in any way. Then rebuild her vertabrae. It involved 4 specialist surgeons and an amazing amount of skill and patience.

Right now she is in rehab and every day is still a struggle, but there is light at the end of the tunnel as the doctors have told her that she would be ok to go home and continue with the rehab.

So what's that got to do with PJ. Well, I can safely say that she is probably the biggest PJ fan that I know. When Eddie came down for his solo shows in Australia in March, She went for 4 of them. She even drove overnight to Newcastle to catch the show there before driving back to see his shows in Sydney 3 nights in a row!

Needless to say she is a devoted and loyal fan and 10club member. And simply adores Eddie.

I was wondering if it would be at all possible for anyone from the 10club to get word to Eddie about her situation so that he could send her some words of encouragement to get her through this dark time. Right now would be the ideal time for this to help her with her rehab. I know for a fact that something like this would be worth more than any card or flowers we could send her or give her.

So please, if there is anyone out there who can help or have any advice on how to get in touch with Eddie about this , let me know.


Cheers to All !

    Thanks mate, I have done that.

    Is there any other way I can contact the band / someone who knows Eddie / Band ?
  • I can't offer much more advice except emailing 10c and trying to contact the band's manager, through 10c or what, I'm not sure how it's done.

    But my thoughts go out to your friend Soraya. Sending my best wishes, lots of strength and good vibes her way. I hope this happens for her and good on you for being a good friend.

    Soraya sounds like a strong woman and I don't fel she adores Eddie. But I feel she would like him to visit for a hug . Hugs are always good :)
