Yeah, sorry for the inaccuracy in my post. I was going off memory, which is in short supply tonight unfortunately.

RUGBY league commentator and character Darryl Brohman has revealed he has prostate cancer and requires surgery.

The 2GB and Channel Nine identity has opened up about his cancer fight, urging other men to have routine check-ups for the life-threatening illness.

Brohman, colloquially nicknamed "the Big Marn" for his large frame and tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, is a regular with the 2GB Continuous Call team and Channel Nine's The Footy Show.

"Hopefully I'll be back at work in 3-4 weeks. It's not as if I'm digging ditches for a living so that's the plan," Brohman said.

"I'm only speaking up about it in the hope other blokes will go and get tested to make sure they stay on top of these types of problems."

Brohman, 54, will undergo surgery next week and doctors expect him to make a full recovery.

Not good news.

I'm not a fan of CC team, but I've always liked big Darryl, even back to his playing days

I really hopes he gets over this. If he does get over it then he really needs to get into shape if he wants to live to a decent old age.

We're with you big D!!

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Hope you get better Big Marn.

 

[Raider_69]

dont like much on the footy show and the CCT is average at best but both are mildly tolerable thanks to the big man.
I wish him all the best and hope he makes a speedy recovery

 

[Timmah]

All the best for a quick recovery Big Marn!

 

[Flapper]

Yeah I heard him on the radio this morning. Sad stuff. He appeared at a function for our footy club only 2 weeks ago, and he apparently knew then, so it's a tremendous effort on his behalf.

Get well soon you big fat heap.

Prostate cancer is the most lethal of all cancers (i think).. people often don't survive it.

 

[Charlie124]

Bah! the big marn laughs in the face of prostate cancer, then puts it on a hotdog and eats it. All before breakfast.

he'll be right.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Hope he's alright, I guess he's lucky he's been diagnosed before it got too bad.

 

[The Tank]

All best Big Marn!!! Sad news.

 

[STG-Dragon]

Sad news, hope he gets well soon!

Prostate cancer is the most lethal of all cancers (i think).. people often don't survive it.

From what I've read lung cancer kills more people overall but pancreatic cancer kills the highest ratio of those diagnosed with it.

Anyway, I wish Darryl a speedy recovery.

 

[Firey_Dragon]

Terrible news, I've had the pleasure of meeting him a few times away from the media. He is a top bloke and always up for a good chat. I hope he can pull through this and wish him a speedy recovery.

Prostate cancer is the most lethal of all cancers (i think).. people often don't survive it.

Prostate cancer has one of the highest survival rates, if diagnosed early. Problem is it can be growing for 5 years before you even find out.

Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival rate within 5 years, it sits at around 4%. Prostate cancer by comparison sits at 98%.

Liver / Bile duct cancer, esophagus, lung and stomach are the next biggest killers. Basically any organ that involves your blood stream is the biggest risk because it means you're at a higher risk of the cancer travelling elsewhere in the body. As soon as it hits your lymph nodes, then it's an almost certain death sentence.

Kia kaha Bro man...

Best of luck to the big marn.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]
