Update On Cotto
Wed 29th September 2010 | Announcements | By Ian Templeman
League Management Committee member John Cotton reports that he is continuing to make good progress as he recovers from his cancer treatment.
Cotto said: "The war wounds are healing nicely and I'm now having daily treatment at home. From next week I have to go to the walking wounded clinic, every day for the next three weeks, for my treatment.
"I've got dates with the surgeon and the cancer man in the next month, and then I'll get a date for my once a week a chemo treatment, to kill off any cancer that might have been left behind.
"You get really tired so I've not been able to get out much, but at least now I can manage to walk to the local shop to get a paper every day. I've been watching plenty of telly, and I've got Sky Sports in the bedroom, so I've watched just about every football and cricket match that they've shown over the past few weeks. It's hard being cooped up though, you feel liek a caged lion.
"I did manage to get down to Newcastle Town to see the lads briefly, but I won't be at a game for a while yet. My next target is to see my grandson Mitchell playing for Town's under 11s team. I've managed to go down and watch him training but I've not seen him play yet, so that is one of my aims in the next few months.
"For now though, I'm confined to the house most of the time although I've got plenty of time to keep in touch with what is going on everywhere. On Saturday afternoons, I've got the telly on watching the vidiprinter, I've got (Newcastle Town Secretary) Ray Tatton ringing me to tell me how Town are getting on, and I've got the computer on the Vodkat League Twitter site so I can see all the updates coming through.Â
"Obviously everyone at Newcastle is still interested in what's happening in the Vodkat League, so I keep Ray updated on a Saturday and in midweek when he's at a game, and he passes the news on.
"In the meantime if anyone around the league fancies a chat and has a spare few minutes, I'd be delighted to hear from them."Â
