This probably should posted in Lounge forum but as more people probably read this. It relates to David’s column today, not sure if he posts here or reads the threads, but anyway.
All the very best wishes for the treatment ahead.
As you say- don’t take it lying down.
Totally agree – and the story told as only David Ashworth can.
Here’s hoping it has been caught soon enough and all the best for a speedy recovery.
I did read David Ashworth’s column
who wrote some excellent splash
about mixing personal things in with his
standard writing.
Heart warming and very funny thoughts.
I wish you all the best.David
and fully admire your don’t take it lying down attitude.I was saddened to learn that David Ashforth has prostate cancer, as mentioned in his remarkably cheery column yesterday.
He is a class apart from most other racing journalists, imo, and seems to be a thoroughly nice bloke as well.
I am sure I am not alone in wishing him all the very best.

Sad news, but I’m sure his cheery personality will aid him terrificly. I wish him well.

I sincerely hope he makes a speedy and full recovery.
Best wishes to you David if you are looking in, as I know you do from time to time.
good luck David,
fortunately most cases no longer terminal,
big odds on several years with treatment
Met David Ashforth 2 years ago at Uttoxeter at a pre Christmas meeting on the final day of his Grab a Grand for Christmas Challenge which he does.
Saw the race with him in the stand which was a low grade hurdle which Polar Gunner won and duly got him his Grand up.
Straight away i shook his hand and congratulated him and he was very pleased to have done it and said thank you.
A very good writer and journalist, and like his comrade Ian Carnaby is a huge lover of Brighton races which has a huge place in his heart.
Good luck David you are a true gent of the game.
Who is he and what happened?
Long time columnist on the Racing Post/Sporting Life and a master of the off-beat, self-deprecatory, reflective, somewhat melencholic essay. Much like his good pal Ian Carnaby.
Apparently he’s been diagnosed with prostate cancer
