Oh Tim, what unexpected and unwelcome news. Please do not bother editing or getting content for videos to satisfy us, your devoted audience - we would far rather that you take time out to rest and properly recover from your procedures. Just get Mr Boo to give us quick updates once in a while, and you concentrate on getting better. Sending love and thoughts. PJ x
Tim, thank you for the courage to share this difficult news with your subscribers. You have done the right things, you have sought good medical investigation, you've had good medical treatment and the surgery sounds like it has gone well. OK, nobody wants news like you have had or any kind of surgery like you have had but you must believe now and keep believing you will get through all this. Its not an end of a journey, the C-word is still just a word. And you still have the lovely Mr. Boo to support you through it. Stay strong. Best wishes, Tom
We've been following you for a while. We have a second home in the south of France and plan to buy an Ami, so your videos are very relevant to us. Beyond that, like everyone else, we have become very fond of both you and Mr Boo and enjoyed sharing your adventures. Sunday night isn't complete without watching the latest episode of your escapades. Sad to hear this news but grateful that you have shared it and hopefully it will serve as a warning to other 'mad dogs and Englishmen'. Best wishes for a speed recovery and many more adventures to come.
Tim, I really feel for you right now; the shock of the unexpected can be so hard to deal with. Take care of yourself and sounds like you've caught this early and you'll be able to get back to normal living pretty soon
It was interesting hearing your story. I have had the same BCC issue on my face, the one thing I hung on to was the consultant said to me that “ if you were to get cancer this is the one you would want” as once it’s removed it’s gone. 🤞🏻it’s the same for you.
Electric vehicles are unimportant. Gtting and staying well is! - this is stunning news - but thank you for having the courage to share. I hope andpray they got it all and you acted in a timely manner. Spend your convalescense teaching Mr Boo how to edit etc . take care - from a stunned regular
Blooming eck! That was a most unwelcome piece of news but so glad you decided to have it checked out when you did.... Hope your recovery continues to go well ... most importantly rest... xx
Oh Tim I’m sorry ! On the bright side you’ve had excellent and speedy treatment. Don’t worry about editing videos if it’s too painful, the important thing is that you rest your back area and allow it to heal. Look after yourself!! Xx
When I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, my surgeon told me 'time is of the essence'. As you say, it's a very sobering bit of information to absorb in a fairly short time. I don't have a Mr Boo in my life. my first partner died of HIV many years ago, my second partner (with whom I had split up from, but still remained in touch with) passed away a month ago. So, essentially I live a solitary life, with my little dog. my own cancer was treated, successfully, over seven years ago, but it has had quite an impact upon my way of life. I don't know your age, but I'm in my mid-sixties, and 'things start going wrong' and 'konking out' hereon, which is a bit of a bother (and a bitch). Long story short, I know what you're going through, and you have my best wishes and hopes for a full recovery. When I was younger (much younger), I was quite content in cut-off jeans and trainers (VERY cut-off), when I lived in Streatham in London. I was 'a bit of alright' back in the day, and bloody knew it, so tan was my clothing much of the time. These days I'm fairly bald (where did my mane go?), so wear a flat cap, and always a baggy T-shirt to save what's left of my hide from further destruction. Out there in the south of France, I'm guessing there are better combinations! Oh, be aware that a nice white T-shirt is nearly as useless as no T-shirt, as it lets the radiation through easily enough. Now you know that you are susceptible to skin cancer, 'things will have to change'. I know how hard that is for us boyz, who have spent so much time letting the world look upon our loveliness ,and the sun light us 'just so', but when you catch cancer in time, life after that is in reality 'a free go', something precious that nature had not intended for us. I think I've worked out that you've been in the entertainment business for your career ( ? ) but never realised the amount of effort editing actually takes! I ought to have guessed though, as your Channel is so seamlessly produced, and beautifully shot. Enough from me... take care of yourself, be gentle with yourself, BUT... don't stop with the program!!! 🤩
Thanks Eddie. Yes I think post 55 the car starts to break down more frequently! (I hadn’t been to the doctor for about twenty years prior to this). The thought of not wearing white tee shirts is of course.. take care and thanks for your message
Wow, I just found out that my brother has cancer and he’s scheduled for surgery this Wednesday 😮 and now you! Yes sir, glad you are NOT playing around with this mess, take it seriously because it IS serious! You take your time Mr. Man! I’ve often asked you about your editing because you are so good at it. I’ve edited a few videos and I know how much time it can take, with music, voice overs in just the right place and any inserts the you may need to add on, etc, etc. I knew you were putting a whole lot of time into your video’s because of the quality of them, they are always so good. Sooo,….. no more thin white t-shirts for you and you should “always” wear a cap for real. I hope that Mr. Boo is keeping a close eye on you and don’t get pissy with him for doing so, because he will be trying to keep you out of trouble! We love you both and will be looking forward to many more of your video’s in the future. Hang in there and be a good patient, I know how some of you men are, you should never have waited so long to get that treated in the first place. If I sound like bitchy, too bad, LOL, It’s how I am with folks that I really care about and I just tell it like it needs to be said. ❤, a friend
Your health is paramount! Give full attention to your medical needs and don't stress yourself, physically or mentally, worrying about the videos. Only work on them if it serves as a welcome distraction, not as a must-do. Best wishes for a completely successful treatment and recovery!
I put "a like"... not for the content, but for you. Take your time to take care of youself, with your loved ones. and, yes, now with "silly hats". I wish you the best
We love your adventures but we love you and Mr. Boo more. Please feel free to take as much time off as you need Tim. Wishing you the best, Rick and Darcey
Put yourself and Mr Boo first, don’t even plan to edit next week. If it happens it happens and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t! Horrible news for you and Boo, but extremely brave and courageous to explain it all in such an open and transparent manner. All the very best for a speedy and relaxing recovery. Take care
The first time I had cancer was a melanoma in my left eye in 1992, In 2000 I had thyroid cancer. Now I have thyroid cancer again together with prostate cancer. So you can see, I sort of gotten used to it. However, for the first time you may well be very depressed about it. Actually, it affects the people around you. Even now people don't know how to react to me having cancer for the 3rd and 4th time together. I don't think about it, just follow the advise from the surgeons and general medical profession. Keep strong. I have spend 10 months in Thailand and love it.
So sorry to hear the news. Luckily you got good care and quickly. Take all the time you need to heal and remember we will be hear for whenever you feel strong and silly enough to return. Get well quick!!
I hesitate to use the expression “thoughts and prayers”, but rest assured that you have mine. It took a tremendous amount of courage to share this video, and I commend you for the effort. You have my unfettered support.
Get well soon. Been watching your content since last year (love it!) and it's really great that you're sharing such trials and tribulations at the very least it also helps raise awareness! Blessings from a fellow Yorkshire man living in France!
I feel like you are both good friends now and look forward to all the videos you are kind enough to make and share with everyone . Best wishes and a speedy recovery from Antonio in southwest England ☀️
What a shock Tim for you & Mr Boo. Thankfully it sounds like you've had excellent surgical treatment and care. Take time to fully recuperate as your health is more important than anything else. Sending healing vibes and recovery wishes to you 🙏🙏
If you’re unlucky enough to get skin cancer, basal cell is vastly preferable to melanoma. It’s a good bet that after the wound heals this is the last you’ll hear of it. It’s good that you had a full dermatological work up and had the nasty bits burned off. Best of luck!
what a shock Tim, such bad news but the good thing is to know you are receiving treatment and they removed that thing from your back, I´m absolutely sure you will be ok, don't worry about the videos, you need to rest and please take care and protect from the sun, you will be fine, believe me. I'm so sad this is awful but you will be fine, stay strong and please keep us update about your wealth, we all love you so much. all my my best wishes and positive vibes to you, sending all my love to you and Mr. Boo, stay strong mate!!!!!!
Very sorry to hear this. My wife had a very similar issue as yours but on the back of her neck. All sorted finally after two operations and this was some years ago and she is clear of cancer now. Same scalp issues (and forehead too). She had the same freezy cold treatment. We did lots of hand holding and warm smiles! I'm sure you will be fine too. Thinking of you both. Stay positive!
Hello Tim, so sorry to hear of your troubles. Hopefully all has been resolved and you fully recover soon. Good job you went private in Thailand, sounds like you would be still waiting for our NHS to see you! Best wishes. 🙂
Tim and Mr Boo What can I say? Onwards and upwards……… so pleased you have received great medical care and all fingers crossed for the outcome we pray for. I honestly thought you were back in France…….. might be an idea to give an Indication when your vlogs are filmed. I know when I commented on last week’s weather in the vlog, you kindly replied that it was filmed in November. I have been through challenging medical times with my partner and I know the two of you will be even stronger together. Elton needs you and has offered to soften his suspension to accommodate your ‘wound’ ! PS As I am the aged one in our relationship, my partner has ensured my LPA is up-to-date and has dusted down my life assurance policy! That love…..isn’t it? ❤ 12:51 💕💕💕💕 Mike
Hi Tim from Spain. I am not a sun worshipper. As a child almost 80 years ago (i.e. after the war and the beaches were reopened) we used occasionally to go for a paddle, etc. Even without sun bathing, I would get terrible sunburn and end up being smothered in calamine lotion in an attempt to reduce the pain so I have always tended to avoid the sun, except, at the moment when it is perhaps 10° in the sun but only 4 or 5° out of it and we are having our morning coffee on the terrace. Glad to hear that you have sympathetic medical staff looking after you. It takes great courage to do a video like this one without turning it into a looking for sympathy plea. Good luck.
I'm so sorry to hear this, I have only known you from your videos, but it breaks my heart that you have suffered this... Take rest and chill for a while, RUclips will always be there however long it takes for you to recover
Thanks for letting us all know how you are getting on. Like all the other comments very sorry to hear your news but most importantly stay postive and look to the future. As much as your subscribers look forward to the videos, they can wait. Maurice from Malvern UK
Tim, I spend most of the year in Australia and it's a HUGE issue here. But if caught early enough and treated agressively it's sortable. Aussies are constantly getting growths removed. It's a badge of honour and a constant talking point here. Sending you and Mr Boo love and positive vibes, you got this xx
@@MeandMonAmi yes that’s cause we are English. No education about it really at home in UK. And the locals in Provence don’t bother with their olive skin . God damn them . Xx
Gosh, all that time and we didn’t know the discomfort and pain you were experiencing when driving Elton, you’re very stoical Tim. Thank you for sharing this news with us. Having looked through the comments it’s obvious you have our thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery. If it’s any consolation, I used to sail a lot with a family friend who was my dad’s age, he had skin cancer on the back of his hands from years of sailing. Quite some years later when he passed away it was from a heart attack not the cancer. Please don’t push yourself to get the next vlog out if you find it difficult, we’ll still be here. Best wishes 😁
Brave video. Well done on making use of the Thai hospitals. It is well worth the money to be treated promptly and professionally. Take your time with the videos, we will all be here watching when you are fully fit again.
I am so sorry to hear you have Skin Cancer. My Uncle got it Five Years ago and I can remember everything he told me. The type of skin cancer. How far it's grown or spread. Where the cancer is. The stage of the cancer (if relevant). In the UK some GPs have had special training and are part of the local hospital skin cancer MDT. They are able to treat a type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma (BCC). So you might not need a referral to see a specialist at the hospital. MDT is a team of doctors and other professionals discuss the best treatment and care for you. They are called a multidisciplinary team. As soon as they found the Lump they sent him for some kind of Scan. Not long after that he had to go into Hospital for an Operation. They didn't just cut the Lump off, they went deeper and removed something that was bigger then just the Lump. He also needed a Skin Graft. Again not long after that he had to undergo a few Chemo or Radiotherapy, I can't remember which. I am happy to say it worked. I/We hope you are given the all clear soon. Best Wishes Always.
Tim, thanks for sharing something that is quite difficult. I have followed your adventures from the time you got Elton and realised recently that you must still be in Chiang Mai, now we know why. You have always shown things as they are, with your own sense of humour to the for, adding to the excellent production values of the videos. Wishing you and Mr Boo all the best.
What an excellent video Tim. It takes a lot of courage, smarts and skill to create such a presentation. It will be of great help to those who may be subject to the same condition. I hope the treatment works out well for you. Best wishes, Terry.
Courage mon brave. You are a strong man with a positive attitude and that will take you very far. Sending positive thoughts and wishing you nothing but the best.
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Late in 2018 my wife was also diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on the tip of her nose, it looked like a small water blister. An outpatient procedure removed it and subsequent tests of surrounding tissue found it had not spread. Hoping for a full recovery in your case as well.
Thank you for sharing your cancer diagnosis......not always an easy thing to do. Sounds like you have had excellent speedy treatment. You take all the time in the world to recover. Your health is paramount, and we will all still be here. Getting the 'C' diagnosis is a great shock to the system. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, then 9 months later diagnosed with very aggressive breast cancer. Two lots of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy (plus put on cancer hormonal therapy (with horrible side effects) for 10 years in a bid to stop cancer returning), all took it's toll, on both my physical and mental health. After one year, my mental health was totally shredded to the point where I was referred to the cancer psychologist. I'm now 10 years cancer free. You take care of yourself, and it's great that Mr Boo is there to help you with your recovery. All the best to you both 🥰
Oh Tim! What a terrifying start to the new year for you both! 🥺 Just relieved you’ve been in the right place to receive amazing care! ❤️🩹 So happy you’re on the road to recovery even if it’s not the road you planned. Sending so much love xx
I’ve had number of b.c.c. Issues ,all small ,and removed . And fortunately mine where all benign. I’m 77 ,and always was a sun worshipper. Using factor 2 suncreams ,what a mistake . It’s factor 50 for me now ,hats and under the parasol in the shade . I still love the beach ,but take precautions. Good luck ,and I hope you and mr boo,and halloween keep making your very enjoyable videos .
Hello mate and thank you for sharing these experiences with us, your friends. With your permission I'd like to share 2 stories with you? 1. I had an injury on my ear lobe that didn't seem to want to heal and f**k off, so eventually I went to a skin surgeon who took a sample and after testing I was told that it wasn't a 'spreading type' and could be just cut out without affecting my looks too much. The operation was done at Limoges CHU and no follow-up required. It was frightening but the care I received was truly reassuring. 2. A pal of mine had a tumor on his back which was found to be an active cancer. He was operated and tumor removed. After that he had a full body scan with a number of skin abnormalities frozen. He is pretty much back to his smart-arse self so is feeling good. Taking action early (which I didn't do!!) seems to be the key, then looking after yourself better. Take good care and you'll be fine. Dave
Best wishes to you. I had basel cell next to my nose and had MOHS surgery. They start with an eraser head size incisition and continue rings until no basel cells are found. The surgeon and the pathologist are in the same office so it can be done on one day. I had the skin flap and although initially looked very Frankenstein monster with the stitches, the result was great. Basel Cell is the least aggressive and mine had been growing for 20 years. Annual checks are the only aftermath.
So sorry to hear this, Tim. Very brave of you to share this news. We both sincerely hope this nastiness is sorted soon. Our very true love and thoughts to you and Mr Boo. Much love ❤️
Thanks for sharing this personal video Tim. Hope you will be in the clear soon. A crucial reminder to protect our skin from the sun not only for those of us who are very fair.
Well done you. That took courage to share but you got it done! You got rid of it! We stand with you. Your fans support you! Much love from a cancer survivor 6 yrs. Xo.
Sending very best wishes and tightly crossed fingers from me and Celina the cat (she who watches your mountain driving videos intently, purring at the tv) in the West Midlands xx
Sorry to hear about your Cancer Tim.... My mother had a malignant melanoma on her back in her 50's which she had removed along with Breast Cancer and subsequently had a mastectomy. She is now knocking on the door of 91 ....There is life after Cancer So Please keep your chin up & look towards the years that you have with Mr Boo & Halloween showing us more of the French Riviera in Elton . I find your adventures fascinating & funny & love your sense of humour (Being 55 this year I get 99% of your jokes) Take Care .... Chris
Here's hoping you get well soon, I've had two strokes, heart problems, nearly died from a stomach infection and also from covid..I'm still here so take note, It ain't over yet plus you have way too many videos to make... All the best from England from me and the old girl
Sorry to hear you've had such a rough time but you'll get through this - stay positive. And we are looking forward to seeing you you back in France with a suitably garish sun umbrella or parasol.
Gosh what a shock Tim, thankfully you are in a place with great medical care available and you got seen and operated on so quickly. Take care of yourself, rest up, out of the sun (!) and concentrate on getting better. You've got this!
Having had skin cancer myself on my chest ( though nothing like your back) I feel for you. Factor 50 on the site of what was cut out. I too adore the sun but the sun in Thailand can be very dangerous as high infra red compared to Europe. Take care and hope the results are OK
Hi Tim, thanks for sharing this "with the world" ... I wish you all the best from freezing cold Germany!!! It's important to stay charged - but probably even more, to stay out of the sun!!! Good luck 👍👍👍
just discovered your channel a few months back and playing catch up. take care Tim, I feel I know you and Mr Boo like friends, Bless you and glad you have a good medical treatment.
Jeezo! Not news I was expecting to hear. Brave of you to share your experience so far. Take it easy, don't edit if you don't fancy it. We will be here when you get back to it. Take it easy.
Oh Tim! What news...not what you need to hear but thank goodness you are in Thailand and have had and are having such great treatment. Please keep us informed. My first reaction was wanting to hop a plane and hug you but realised that would doubtless hurt. So sending a ton of love to you and Mr Boo. Love ya!
Extremely sorry to hear this, Tim, and very pleased you've been able to access treatment so promptly. No need for any videos while you're recovering. Take care and all the best👍🤗
Oh Tim, what unexpected and unwelcome news. Please do not bother editing or getting content for videos to satisfy us, your devoted audience - we would far rather that you take time out to rest and properly recover from your procedures. Just get Mr Boo to give us quick updates once in a while, and you concentrate on getting better. Sending love and thoughts. PJ x
Thanks so much for your support
Yes hopefully last it will be ok

Yes I think so. Thanks

@@MeandMonAmi haha, indeed, it seems there is! Anglo/Swiss/Bradfordian to boot 🤪
A courageous and frank account, huge respect for sharing. Wishing you health and peace.
Thanks Paul.
I feel like you are both good friends now and look forward to all the videos you are kind enough to make and share with everyone . Best wishes and a speedy recovery from Antonio in southwest England ☀️
Thanks so much. I’ve found peoples comments a little overwhelming tbh but in a good way
The dreaded "C" word! I wish you all the very best Tim.
What a shock Tim for you & Mr Boo. Thankfully it sounds like you've had excellent surgical treatment and care. Take time to fully recuperate as your health is more important than anything else. Sending healing vibes and recovery wishes to you 🙏🙏
Thanks Vanessa. Hopefully back up to speed v soon

Yes definitely the one to get
All the best of wishes!
Don't rush the editing, to release on a schedule.
Your health is more important!
Thanks very much
what a shock Tim, such bad news but the good thing is to know you are receiving treatment and they removed that thing from your back, I´m absolutely sure you will be ok, don't worry about the videos, you need to rest and please take care and protect from the sun, you will be fine, believe me.
I'm so sad this is awful but you will be fine, stay strong and please keep us update about your wealth, we all love you so much.
all my my best wishes and positive vibes to you, sending all my love to you and Mr. Boo, stay strong mate!!!!!!
Thanks. Yes I’m very positive that the worst is now done with and I can get back behind the wheel
oh no. hope your gonna be ok. sending love ...xx
I’m sure I will be. Thanks
Very sorry to hear this. My wife had a very similar issue as yours but on the back of her neck. All sorted finally after two operations and this was some years ago and she is clear of cancer now.

Yes I think so. And it’s a relief to be rid of the ‘carbuncle’! Send her my best
Hello Tim, so sorry to hear of your troubles. Hopefully all has been resolved and you fully recover soon. Good job you went private in Thailand, sounds like you would be still waiting for our NHS to see you! Best wishes. 🙂
Yes pleased to have for it done with
Tim and Mr Boo
What can I say? Onwards and upwards……… so pleased you have received great medical care and all fingers crossed for the outcome we pray for. I honestly thought you were back in France…….. might be an idea to give an Indication when your vlogs are filmed. I know when I commented on last week’s weather in the vlog, you kindly replied that it was filmed in November.
I have been through challenging medical times with my partner and I know the two of you will be even stronger together. Elton needs you and has offered to soften his suspension to accommodate your ‘wound’ !
PS As I am the aged one in our relationship, my partner has ensured my LPA is up-to-date and has dusted down my life assurance policy! That love…..isn’t it?

MR Boo keeps offering me bits of paper with the word Will on!;
Keep well, Tim. Love to you as always.
Thanks, you too!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Hi Tim from Spain. I am not a sun worshipper. As a child almost 80 years ago (i.e. after the war and the beaches were reopened) we used occasionally to go for a paddle, etc. Even without sun bathing, I would get terrible sunburn and end up being smothered in calamine lotion in an attempt to reduce the pain so I have always tended to avoid the sun, except, at the moment when it is perhaps 10° in the sun but only 4 or 5° out of it and we are having our morning coffee on the terrace. Glad to hear that you have sympathetic medical staff looking after you. It takes great courage to do a video like this one without turning it into a looking for sympathy plea.
Good luck.
Yes I certainly didn’t want it to be woe is me at all!
I'm so sorry to hear this, I have only known you from your videos, but it breaks my heart that you have suffered this... Take rest and chill for a while, RUclips will always be there however long it takes for you to recover
Thanks Peter
Sorry to hear such news Tim, I hope you get all the treatment you need and a positive outcome for you and Mr Boo. Take care of yourself x
Thanks Paul
@@MeandMonAmi Your very welcome Tim x
Thanks for letting us all know how you are getting on. Like all the other comments very sorry to hear your news but most importantly stay postive and look to the future. As much as your subscribers look forward to the videos, they can wait. Maurice from Malvern UK
Thanks Maurice. All going well
Tim, I spend most of the year in Australia and it's a HUGE issue here. But if caught early enough and treated agressively it's sortable. Aussies are constantly getting growths removed. It's a badge of honour and a constant talking point here. Sending you and Mr Boo love and positive vibes, you got this xx
Yup I’m learning how ignorant I was compared to antipodeans!
@@MeandMonAmi yes that’s cause we are English. No education about it really at home in UK. And the locals in Provence don’t bother with their olive skin . God damn them . Xx
Gosh, all that time and we didn’t know the discomfort and pain you were experiencing when driving Elton, you’re very stoical Tim. Thank you for sharing this news with us. Having looked through the comments it’s obvious you have our thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
If it’s any consolation, I used to sail a lot with a family friend who was my dad’s age, he had skin cancer on the back of his hands from years of sailing. Quite some years later when he passed away it was from a heart attack not the cancer.
Please don’t push yourself to get the next vlog out if you find it difficult, we’ll still be here. Best wishes 😁
Thanks Nick. Yes I think I’m lucky it’s nothing more serious than basal cell and relieved to have got rid of the bloody growth which drove me nuts.
Brave video. Well done on making use of the Thai hospitals. It is well worth the money to be treated promptly and professionally. Take your time with the videos, we will all be here watching when you are fully fit again.
They have been so fast and easy to deal with
I am so sorry to hear you have Skin Cancer. My Uncle got it Five Years ago and I can remember everything he told me. The type of skin cancer. How far it's grown or spread. Where the cancer is. The stage of the cancer (if relevant). In the UK some GPs have had special training and are part of the local hospital skin cancer MDT. They are able to treat a type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma (BCC). So you might not need a referral to see a specialist at the hospital. MDT is a team of doctors and other professionals discuss the best treatment and care for you. They are called a multidisciplinary team. As soon as they found the Lump they sent him for some kind of Scan. Not long after that he had to go into Hospital for an Operation. They didn't just cut the Lump off, they went deeper and removed something that was bigger then just the Lump. He also needed a Skin Graft. Again not long after that he had to undergo a few Chemo or Radiotherapy, I can't remember which. I am happy to say it worked. I/We hope you are given the all clear soon. Best Wishes Always.
Best wishes and speedy recovery from sunny Blackpool.
Thanks. I am hoping to come to Blackpool soon if my plan comes together!
Good that you've caught it. I hope everything is good going forward.
Us too!
so sorry to hear this, wish you a speedy and successful recovery
Thanks Alan
So very sorry to hear your news. Concentrate on recovering. SPF 50 from now on with hats and tee shirts xx
Yup!
Tim, thanks for sharing something that is quite difficult. I have followed your adventures from the time you got Elton and realised recently that you must still be in Chiang Mai, now we know why. You have always shown things as they are, with your own sense of humour to the for, adding to the excellent production values of the videos. Wishing you and Mr Boo all the best.
Thanks Chris your comments are very much appreciated
What an excellent video Tim. It takes a lot of courage, smarts and skill to create such a presentation. It will be of great help to those who may be subject to the same condition. I hope the treatment works out well for you. Best wishes, Terry.
Thanks Terry I hope it helps someone
So sorry to hear this. Hope you will be ok. Hats off to you for sharing it. 😢 Hope you get well very soon.
Thanks Florence
All the best, we will understand if you can't post so often. Take care of yourself
Thanks
Good luck with all of that. Brings you back down to earth a bit, and all of us.
No harm in that
Sorry to hear that - hopefully the all clear will come soon and you get get back to enjoying your life in the South of France
Yup hope so
Courage mon brave. You are a strong man with a positive attitude and that will take you very far. Sending positive thoughts and wishing you nothing but the best.
Thanks Raoul
Keep fighting never give up my thoughts are with you
Thanks Roy
Sent you a message. Thank you for this video. I’m just shocked. Much love. ❤
Thanks Hayley
Tim, I wish you to recover quickly. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you kindly
I wish you all the best Tim, and don`t worry too much, you will stay with us for plenty more time!
Yes I intend to
Terrible news Tim. My thoughts are with you during this difficult period. I hope you recover back to full health. 🙁
Thanks for sharing, wise man getting seen to over there. I wish you a full recovery so you can get back to your ald quick witted self.
Thanks 👍
get well soon! the hat looks good! time to get a hat collection ;)
Working on it!
Good luck and remember that you have so many fans out here that love you, are thinking of you and wish you well. Stay strong .
Thanks for your kind words
Well, that's a bit scary. I hope it doesn't bother you too much and that it recovers well. I wish you the best!
Thanks Henk
Good luck with the treatment, looking forward to a positive prognosis. As we British say, chin up!
Thanks chins staying up
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Late in 2018 my wife was also diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on the tip of her nose, it looked like a small water blister. An outpatient procedure removed it and subsequent tests of surrounding tissue found it had not spread. Hoping for a full recovery in your case as well.
Thanks. Yes I’m feeling pretty confident all will be good
Hi Tim, I’m so sorry to hear this. Thinking of you and Mr Boo and hope you get better soon!
Thanks very much
Hoping you get the all clear soon. Good to hear you the treatment done and the doctors have founds other threats.
Yup better then devil you know etc
Thank you for sharing your cancer diagnosis......not always an easy thing to do. Sounds like you have had excellent speedy treatment. You take all the time in the world to recover. Your health is paramount, and we will all still be here. Getting the 'C' diagnosis is a great shock to the system. I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, then 9 months later diagnosed with very aggressive breast cancer. Two lots of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy (plus put on cancer hormonal therapy (with horrible side effects) for 10 years in a bid to stop cancer returning), all took it's toll, on both my physical and mental health. After one year, my mental health was totally shredded to the point where I was referred to the cancer psychologist. I'm now 10 years cancer free. You take care of yourself, and it's great that Mr Boo is there to help you with your recovery. All the best to you both 🥰
That sounds much tougher than I’ve had Annie. Glad all well now!
Oh Tim! What a terrifying start to the new year for you both! 🥺 Just relieved you’ve been in the right place to receive amazing care! ❤️🩹 So happy you’re on the road to recovery even if it’s not the road you planned. Sending so much love xx
Thanks Fern. Hope to see you soon xx
Thank you for sharing Tim,now just concentrate on getting yourself better,
Thanks Richard
I’ve had number of b.c.c. Issues ,all small ,and removed . And fortunately mine where all benign. I’m 77 ,and always was a sun worshipper. Using factor 2 suncreams ,what a mistake . It’s factor 50 for me now ,hats and under the parasol in the shade . I still love the beach ,but take precautions. Good luck ,and I hope you and mr boo,and halloween keep making your very enjoyable videos .
Thanks. Yes that’s my plan going forward. Hat for swimming etc!
Thanks for sharing, it's a reminder for us all, I too love the sun, hope everything is well 🤞
This has made me so sad! Just want to give you a big hug right now!! Easier said than done but try stay positive as your in good hands! ❤️
Thank you, I will
Tim, thanks for being so open and for the public service announcement! I hope you feel better very soon and look forward to more adventures in Elton.
Thank you so much!
Tim wishing you all the very best for your speedy recovery hope to see you in VF again soon John & Dee
Thanks
Hello mate and thank you for sharing these experiences with us, your friends.
With your permission I'd like to share 2 stories with you?
1. I had an injury on my ear lobe that didn't seem to want to heal and f**k off, so eventually I went to a skin surgeon who took a sample and after testing I was told that it wasn't a 'spreading type' and could be just cut out without affecting my looks too much. The operation was done at Limoges CHU and no follow-up required. It was frightening but the care I received was truly reassuring.
2. A pal of mine had a tumor on his back which was found to be an active cancer. He was operated and tumor removed. After that he had a full body scan with a number of skin abnormalities frozen. He is pretty much back to his smart-arse self so is feeling good.
Taking action early (which I didn't do!!) seems to be the key, then looking after yourself better. Take good care and you'll be fine. Dave
Thanks Dave. I think we’re getting on top of it now for sure
Best wishes to you. I had basel cell next to my nose and had MOHS surgery. They start with an eraser head size incisition and continue rings until no basel cells are found. The surgeon and the pathologist are in the same office so it can be done on one day. I had the skin flap and although initially looked very Frankenstein monster with the stitches, the result was great. Basel Cell is the least aggressive and mine had been growing for 20 years. Annual checks are the only aftermath.
Thanks. Yes I think they use MOHS on more exposed areas
So sorry to hear this, Tim. Very brave of you to share this news. We both sincerely hope this nastiness is sorted soon. Our very true love and thoughts to you and Mr Boo. Much love ❤️
Thanks very much
Thanks for sharing this personal video Tim. Hope you will be in the clear soon. A crucial reminder to protect our skin from the sun not only for those of us who are very fair.
I hope so too
Wishing you a speedy and health recovery matey..
Thanks Paul
sorry to hear this keep your head up hope you have a great result and recover with out complications
Thanks Ian
Well done you. That took courage to share but you got it done! You got rid of it! We stand with you. Your fans support you! Much love from a cancer survivor 6 yrs. Xo.
Thanks Judith. Keep at it!
Sending very best wishes and tightly crossed fingers from me and Celina the cat (she who watches your mountain driving videos intently, purring at the tv) in the West Midlands xx
Oh sorry to hear this but glad it seems positive Tim. Factor 50 everyday guys even in winter xx
Yup weirdly I have been on forehead and nose for a long time but obviously not long enough!
Sorry, feel better. It seems they got it all. We all Love You Guys ❤
I Hope so!
Sorry to hear about your Cancer Tim.... My mother had a malignant melanoma on her back in her 50's which she had removed along with Breast Cancer and subsequently had a mastectomy. She is now knocking on the door of 91 ....There is life after Cancer So Please keep your chin up & look towards the years that you have with Mr Boo & Halloween showing us more of the French Riviera in Elton . I find your adventures fascinating & funny & love your sense of humour (Being 55 this year I get 99% of your jokes)
Take Care ....
Chris
Thanks Chris. I think all is going to be fine with many more adventures/age appropriate jokes to come!
God bless you mate. Safe recovery fingers crossed for you
Thanks Robert
Here's hoping you get well soon, I've had two strokes, heart problems, nearly died from a stomach infection and also from covid..I'm still here so take note, It ain't over yet plus you have way too many videos to make... All the best from England from me and the old girl
Thanks Peter. That’s going some
Bloody hell. Look after yourselves. We are all with you!
Thanks
Hi TIm, so sorry to hear this, we re thinking of you, Tony and Peter x
Thanks so much
Blessings and Positive vibes your way!!!! Sincerely yours, Lou West Palm Beach.
Same to you!
Hi! be strong ! I send you lots of positive vibes!
Thank you, I will
Sorry to hear you've had such a rough time but you'll get through this - stay positive. And we are looking forward to seeing you you back in France with a suitably garish sun umbrella or parasol.
I might get a visor like American golfers
Gosh what a shock Tim, thankfully you are in a place with great medical care available and you got seen and operated on so quickly. Take care of yourself, rest up, out of the sun (!) and concentrate on getting better. You've got this!
Thanks Phoebe. Hope to see you soon!
Get yourself better first wishing you full recover and happiness 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks Craig
Having had skin cancer myself on my chest ( though nothing like your back) I feel for you. Factor 50 on the site of what was cut out. I too adore the sun but the sun in Thailand can be very dangerous as high infra red compared to Europe. Take care and hope the results are OK
Yes I’m keeping Nivea in clover!
Hi Tim, thanks for sharing this "with the world" ... I wish you all the best from freezing cold Germany!!! It's important to stay charged - but probably even more, to stay out of the sun!!! Good luck 👍👍👍
Sadly yes and I love the sun
Love and kisses from us two for a very speedy recovery, ❤❤❤
Thanks Guys I shall be back and annoying very soon!
just discovered your channel a few months back and playing catch up.
take care Tim, I feel I know you and Mr Boo like friends,
Bless you and glad you have a good medical treatment.
Thanks and so glad you are enjoying
Jeezo! Not news I was expecting to hear. Brave of you to share your experience so far. Take it easy, don't edit if you don't fancy it. We will be here when you get back to it. Take it easy.
Thanks Gareth. All hopefully back on track
Oh Tim! What news...not what you need to hear but thank goodness you are in Thailand and have had and are having such great treatment. Please keep us informed. My first reaction was wanting to hop a plane and hug you but realised that would doubtless hurt. So sending a ton of love to you and Mr Boo. Love ya!
Thanks Jilly. I’ve had a few potential huggers who I’ve pushed away! All looking good I think. Let’s meet up sooooooon!
Tim, you have such courage talking to us all about what you are going through. All our thoughts and best wishes are with you and Mr Boo.
Thanks Benjamin
Extremely sorry to hear this, Tim, and very pleased you've been able to access treatment so promptly. No need for any videos while you're recovering. Take care and all the best👍🤗
Thanks And thanks for all your support
All the best to you and Mr Boo. Sending big hugs and loving healing energy to you both. xx
Thanks very much
