Not the best of news the cancer has spread to the liver and also messy in original place. Deep breath. Their treatment plan is more chemo (different flavour) sounds slightly more stronger version starting in two weeks. The doctor said it’s the intention to try and attack both

@foaty Thanks Foaty - big afternoon ahead but at least can get it all done in one trip - they've also added a blood test so getting a good MOT ! x

Not the news I was hoping for today. The doctor is concerned the cancer has returned to same level after a sigmoidoscopy at The Royal Marsden. Scans to follow on Friday and then next course of action to be agreed likely further chemo and/or surgery. Devastated but in good hands.

The Masters sponsorship deal with IBM might be one of the best in all of sports.
As one of the tournament's four primary sponsors, IBM receives a private hospitality cabin to host clients and exclusive access to TV commercial inventory.
But the real value comes with the Masters app.
As part of its sponsorship deal, IBM built and maintains the Masters app. I'm told they now have a team of 30-35 employees who work on the app year-round, despite almost all of its usage coming just one week each year.
The Masters app does the simple stuff so well, showing every shot from every player all tournament long. But IBM was also among the first companies to leverage artificial intelligence to enhance the fan experience.
Using lasers positioned around the course, IBM pinpoints the exact coordinates of a golf ball after every single shot. The course is then split into more than 200,000 zones, with IBM cross-checking each shot against decades worth of data to accurately estimate how a player's scoring odds change throughout a round.
This type of innovation is a win-win for everyone.
Augusta National gets sponsorship $$ plus a technical partner who built and maintains the best app in sports.
And while IBM spends millions each year on its Masters sponsorship deal, the tournament serves as a global platform for marketing, sales, and client entertainment.
That type of partnership is exactly why the two brands are now celebrating their 30th year working together — and it's something every other event should try to copy.
