He told his people, “Today I’m going home.” Without half of their liver and a tumor that the excellent Prof. Heaton removed last week. Last year, they found another primary cancer, but I didn’t tell anyone.
Five months after his original diagnosis, he told his followers he was “cured” and thanked them for all their nice remarks. You probably remember that I found out I had lung cancer in July.
“I had surgery in October to take out the tumor, and then I had chemotherapy to help keep the cancer from coming back.
“While I was getting this treatment, they found another tumor in my liver.” I was able to treat this cancer, which was not related to the lung cancer.
“I had a TACE operation to fix this.” Last Friday, I saw my oncologist. She reported the liver tumor was becoming smaller and the lung cancer was gone.
He gently said, “It’s not over yet, but I’m really happy with this new information.”
Patrick died after his Only Fools and Horses co-star John Challis, who was most known for playing Terrance Aubrey “Boycie,” died in 2021.
Today, John’s wife Carol paid her own tribute to Patrick by stating, “My condolences to Pat’s beloved wife Anong and their daughter Josie.”
