Mark 'Choco' Williams given the all clear from cancer - Ch 7 news [update]

[Mr Magic]

Of utmost importance is that he gets well but no doubt it's going to be disruptive to the club.

[Phil Mrakov]

Massive lose if he isn't able to coach

He'll be coaching but I reckon he might take time off sometime in 2015 ?

I doubt that he will be coaching in the coming months. The chemotherapy can almost kill you and he will be very unwell.  He'll bet back later next year if all goes well.

theres different types of chemo, some people work through the worst types of chemo anyway. I reckon he might get a milder form of drug which might allow him to work through it completely

[Judge Roughneck]

Some (a lot) get proper stuffed up by it ...

Love the bloke best wishes 

Who is our number 3 coach? Mcqualter?

You might be right, but from experience if you have a large lump things have progressed to the point they have to hit you hard Phil….

Dan Richardson said Choco will take some time off earlier in the week for tests and we'll take it from there. The club will give him as much time off as he wants but Choco wants to get back into it and he is hoping to back coaching business as usual later on this week.

[WA Tiger]

Yes all the best Choco!!!!!

[Owl]

No sickies Choc, shake it off get back into it.  You too Camboon. 

[Smokey]

I reckon he will want to jump back into the thick of it because that seems like his nature, and it seems to be the best way of dealing with most forms of this sickness.  Good luck and best wishes to Choco and all the posters on here who are fighting their own battles with it.

MARK Williams is back working at Richmond after being diagnosed with cancer last month.

Williams, the Tigers' senior development coach and 2004 Port Adelaide premiership mentor, was diagnosed with lymphoma and has undergone testing to determine the extent of the problem.

He is still waiting on results.

Speaking on SEN on Thursday afternoon, Richmond’s general manager of football Dan Richardson said Williams had been at the club all week.

"He's going well," Richardson said.

"He's upbeat, as Choco always is. He's still waiting on some final results of some testing he's had over the last week or so, and hopefully over the next week we'll know a little bit more.

"He feels fine so hopefully that's a good sign."

Williams remained in Melbourne while the playing list headed to Townsville in North Queensland for a pre-season training camp.
