JET HARRIS - NEWS UPDATE

[audreyk]

Hi Everyone,

Many people have asked for an update on Jet's health, so this is just to let you know that Jet will be going into hospital on Wednesday, 23 September for five days of intensive chemotherapy. Also, Jet and Janet have asked me to clear up a misunderstanding. Apparently some people think that Jet has been diagnosed with throat cancer. This is not the case. Jet has been undergoing medical investigations for more than three months, but the doctors have been unable to locate the primary source of the cancer although they believe it to be somewhere in the chest, neck, or head.

I'm sorry to post this message in the midst of everyone getting excited about the forthcoming tour, but please spare a thought for Jet and Janet next week. I'm sure that everyone will want to join with me in wishing Jet all the best for his treatment. I know that Jet is hoping he will be able to use his laptop whilst in hospital, so please keep the messages of support coming!!

Best wishes
Audrey

Jet,

I'm sure all the Shads fans in Australia will join me in wishing you a speedy recovery.

I'm sorry I missed out on meeting you at Shadowmania last year, and I look forward very much to meeting you at Shadowmania 2011 and shaking your paw. You are an inspiration mate !!! Quiff or no quiff.

Your performance of this tune at Shadowmania last year really gobsmacked me totally, and I was determined to make a BT for it, including a key change in my arrangement. George Lewis played the lead guitar.

So just for you Jet here it is. (Hope you've got some decent speakers on your laptop.)

All the best Jet.
I hope your hair doesn't all fall out! Mine hasn't yet, but then I didn't have that much when I started the Chemo!

Hi Jet,

Picking up on Paul's comment about hair falling out, you never know it might all grow back
to how it was in your youth Quiff and all!

Hi Jet

Hi Jet
I think everyone is thinking of you at this difficult time. My thoughts and words to you, if you see this, is to stay as positive as possible. I have been through 5 major operations in the last 5 years, including 2 liver transplants. The thing that has kept me focused and positive was learning to play Shadows music after a short break (46 years). It is down to people like yourself and the music that you have created which has helped me and no doubt thousands of others in different ways. I am sure that all Shadows fans are wishing you and your loved ones well.
Stay positive and fight like hell!
