The devastating news broke yesterday that Swans fan Hartson had developed testicular cancer, which had spread to his brain. <\/p>\n
34 year old Hartson will undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy at Swansea’s Singleton Hospital in the next weeks and months. <\/p>\n
Just a few weeks ago, the former Wales striker registered his interest in the then vacant managerial job at the Liberty Stadium. <\/p>\n
On behalf of Planet Swans and Swansea fans, we would like to wish John best wishes in his recovery from cancer. We’re all behind you! <\/p>\n
A family statement read: <\/p>\n
“All the family, and John’s friends, are doing all we can to support him and praying that he will make a full recovery. <\/p>\n
“John is getting excellent care from the oncologists at the hospital as he begins his treatment. <\/p>\n
“John is a family man and we appreciate all the messages of support we have already received.” <\/p>\n
