Bristol Rovers favourite Nick Anderton has revealed he’s entering the final week of chemotherapy in an inspirational message posted on social media detailing aspects of his cancer battle.
Anderton was diagnosed with osteosarcoma - a rare form of bone cancer - last summer after a routine scan on a leg injury discovered a tumour. The popular defender began chemo in December and is now reaching the end of that particular course of treatment.
Due to his illness and subsequent operations which have led to a full knee replacement, Anderton announcement his retirement from football in April. This week also represents the end of his contract at Rovers, with the Gas honouring the final 12 months of his deal.
