Grahame says almost a month into recovery after radiotherapy on vocal chord his voice is almost coming back.
He's told to rest it until the specialist has a good look!
In the meantime, it is really just emails please.

An update from Grahame Newnham.
He went into hospital again on 20 November 2018 with probably a long term recovery.
He asks for no contact, emails, orders or phone calls.
I am sure we all wish him well for the future.

I saw the update because it's the only site where I had found a 9.5mm accessory that I needed. I wish him all the best, he is a great person, polite and helpful.

Yes a great pity. He's really been in the wars lately and now has to endure another operation. So very knowledgable and probably the best source of 9.5 help, spares and information, for us hobbyists/ collectors.
I'll certainly be 'throwing one up' for his full recovery.

Grahame's website says that he was having a major vocal chord cancer operation.
His recovery will be a long job, probably months.

Grahame is at present in a nursing home but has his computer with him so here's what he has just sent me.

"I had thought the cancer (vocal chord) was clear a year ago after radiography treatment, in fact, last year I was back to normal and going out regularly, including five holidays.

Then last Summer it was back. More radiography treatment was not possible, so a very tricky operation. Now my swallowing isn't quite right, so I am "Nil By Mouth" and have a liquid feed via pipe into my stomach! However, I am mobile, but a bit wobbly.

By chance this lovely Nursing Home is a short walk from my house. I have been back once but it is too much of a walk on my own at present.

By all means mention my problems on the Forum."

Grahame is able to do some limited updates on his Web-Site, however there is a lot waiting at home to be added some time.

Grahame would welcome communications from members, his email is presto@pathefilm.uk

Members may wish to know that Grahame has a few small items for sale on eBay, however, the sales section of his website is not active.
