Metastatic progression of cancer is not successful surgery is it? Sounds like it is very aggressive if it appeared elsewhere so soon on a scan.

People who can afford to travel, but choose not to pay for an insurance took a chance and lost.....Better to give money to somebody,

who can't afford to travel, work hard and now need treatment but can't pay for it...... 

You do not get free NHS treatment if you are out of the UK for more than 180 Days so he will need to attend an interview & wait 6 months before he can do anything or claim any money

Never understood old guys left their motherland for Thailand, wherever they come from. 

If I am this old guy, I want to suggest expat to come ack to our Country, that is definitely much better than here. Destroy own life for live between immoral girls that stay close to you only because your ATM. How many stupids old western guys are here in Thailand.

 

if I reach the age of 60, I will surely retire to some quiet European country: southern Italy, Tenerife in Spain, Greece, Portugal. All places accessible, quiet, livable, great food, great climate, no mess, no people trying to screw you over.
Stay away lecher ATM seeker woman

No idea what your posts means?

Rob clearly says in the video that Kev is on the way.

Kev has landed in "Holland" (Amsterdam, Netherlands, you can guess).

And Kev writes that a video from Spain will come soon.

There is not a single nonstop flight from Bangkok to Spain.

Strange that he is avoiding the UK so much. Does he have an outstanding arrest warrant or something?

Not a fan of GoFundMe but I do, on occasion, have a heart and wish the guy all the best as I reckon he's not long of this world.  The excruciating pain of this illness isn't something I want to personally experience.  

the nurse at the hospital told me esophageal cancer was a smoker/drinker cancer. see you on the other side kev. 

What an absolutely ghastly story and even worse all the vitriol it seems to have unleashed, to say nothing of the nauseating odour of sanctimony. I think that I need to take one of my periodic breaks from the Forum, it’s all getting a bit much.

First Aid or an immediately life threatening event are the only two contingencies in which I would, still reluctantly, resort to seeking medical treatment in Thailand.  For anything else, first vacant seat on a flight to London, even Thai Airways, direct in twelve hours. 

If you cannot keep yourself, in every sense safe here, or anywhere else away from the loving arms of your mother country, then you should never have left it. 

What was that again Albert ?  Oh yes, there are only two infinites: The Universe and human stupidity.

No need to watch anymore.  These 'Real' scammers scratch/ touch their face conspicuously to let their team know it's a fake video.  In conjunction this Zmen (his friend naively called the Jman), the hexagon logo in his YouTube, all too obvious...  it's all recorded on record too.  When this comes out, well... then people will 'truly' learn the meaning between not 'not knowing' and 'not caring'.  It will be one hell of an ego trip...

It's official. Kev's cancer is terminal and now he's looking at quality of life rather than treatment.
Many people appreciated all the content Kev produced. Kev made an effort to brighten people's days by shamelessly sleeping with prostitutes and then making videos about it. Videos that generated ad revenue. For him. To spend on prostitutes.
Hopefully all can let bygones be bygones and let him end his life in peace.

Hope he does as well as can be and is comfortable. Thanks for the update.

But he was treated straight away here, back home he would have waited for weeks if not months. I agree I would be on the next plane home as well.

not  true, had a  friend  diagnosed with  cancer  and he went  back to the Uk and was in hospital within 7  days having chemo, that was 6  months ago  now.

Maybe if he hadn't wasted time getting treatment in Thailand it wouldn't be terminal. A lesson i think

He's a gonner

Following another liar that he defended, Grahame Briar and not long after. How does sleeping with prostitutes brighten anyone's life though? Probably smoking, boozing and dining at the Y did him in, but at least the annoying old sod had what looked like a happy last couple of years, no more hello people, it's goodbye people. I expect all the sad sacks will be having a party for him at the hide away bar. ???? RIP when his time comes, like the rest of us.

Would not have cost him 50k+ which is what Kev shelled out for, to no avail.

As much as I disliked Kev's channel (admit I looked in occasionally) it is sad to hear he could not beat the cancer. Cancer is a tough way to end ones life and I hope Kev has someone to be with him during his last days.

Think by now we all know you converted to being a German and take every opportunity here to slag off the UK....????

recently read in a UK newspaper that survival rates for cancer in the UK are the worst in Europe, probably because you have to wait so long before you get treatment, the expertise is there but you have to get it.

I wonder whether if he'd gone back to the UK earlier and hadn't gambled with treatment in Thailand he would be still alive

Exactly. He never even meet Briar. Yet, he travelled north purely for personal gain! Lowballing Grahams wife for motor bike, camera equipment etc. anyhow, he’s better off now. RIP

What you implying about Thai Hospitals, they found my Leukemia in about 7 hours, And it was government Hospital that diagnosed it, after a private Hospital failed
