I must point out, that Tommy Burns is suffering from melanoma skin cancer, which my father recently lost his battle against.
Once the melanoma gets to Stage 3 or 4, it becomes very difficult to treat and i hope that Tommy is not at these stages. McLeary is right in saying that not all cancer is terminal, but melanoma skin cancer is sadly among the top killers in cancer (more sore if it malignant melanoma)
Couple of links for those wishing more info on melanoma

I really hope Tommy gets better, i couldn't care less about the fact he's a Celtic player/manager, as this is a horrible situation to be in.
