From Tim Blair
A note from The Australian’s Matt Price, sent to News Ltd colleagues:
A couple of weeks back I returned from Canberra with low energy levels. Then last week - and this is perverse - I noticed my left side slightly awry writing a story on Chris Mainwaring. A trip to the GP and a CT scan proved devastating. I have several brain tumours and will undergo exploratory brain surgery on Wednesday.
There is no sugar coating this - it’s dangerous and serious. Telling the three kids has been horrific. I am distraught at the prospect of introducing cancer into their innocent teenage lives. We are entering a long dark tunnel with no guarantees.
Best of luck to Matt, his wife and their children.
Yes, indeed.
I too read Tim's post and immediately sent an email to Matt wishing him the best outcome.
I worked with him in The Australian's Canberra Press Gallery bureau a few years back.
A great guy on every level.
