ALASTAIR Cook was told he had terminal liver cancer in July 2024. His devastating diagnosis was caused by a 'silent killer' virus he got after a traumatic car crash almost four decades earlier. The 67-year-old, from Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire , contracted hepatitis C in 1981 when he was working in the oil industry as an exploration geologist in Kuwait . After being involved in an accident that left him with life-threatening injuries, Alastair was rushed to hospital and given a blood transfusion . He later found out that the blood used was contaminated with hepatitis C - a virus that can cause serious damage to the liver if left untreated. Many people won’t have symptoms for months or years after they pick up hepatitis C but, over time, it can lead to scarring of the liver - called cirrhosis - and liver cancer , which can be fatal. Read more on liver cancer It is therefore often dubbed a 'silent killer'. Alastair spent the next 34 years in treatment for hepatitis C, enrolling in experimental drug trials. After tumours were spotted in his liver, he was given just six to nine months to live. Alastair is undergoing immunotherapy , which he says will just extend his life by a few months rather than eradicate the cancer . Most read in Health He's quite matter of fact about his diagnosis, saying: "There's nothing much I can do." But he is urging others who think they might be at risk of the virus to get tested . "The sooner that they pick it up, the sooner they can get rid of it," Alastair tells Sun Health . In the UK, hepatitis C is most commonly spread from sharing needles or syringes when injecting drugs. It can also be passed on through unprotected sex , as well as razors and piercing needles. In the past, some people did get the virus through blood transfusions. All blood transfusions in the UK have been tested and are safe, but the British Liver Trust advises anyone who had a transfusion overseas - or in the UK before 1991 - to ask their doctor for a hepatitis C test. With recent innovations in treatment, 90 per cent of people with hepatitis C may be cured. Alastair spoke to Sun Health after NHS data revealed that cases of liver cancer in England had increased by 5.4 per cent between 2020 and 2022. Liver cancer incidence across the UK has also surged by 42 per cent over the past decade, Liver Cancer UK warns. The charity says there's been a surge in mortality related to liver cancer, with around 5,800 deaths recorded every year. Vanessa Hebditch, director of policy at the British Liver Trust, says: “We cannot ignore this rising tide of liver cancer. “Liver cancer is often preventable and the majority of people who are diagnosed will have an underlying liver condition. "Improving liver health and surveillance of people with liver disease is vital to reduce the number of people losing their lives to liver cancer." 'I thought I was going to die' Alastair graduated from Birmingham University with a degree in Geological Sciences as the oil industry was "starting to take off". He completed training in Dallas, Texas , before working as a contractor for oil service companies in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia , Greece, Norway, Nigeria and Libya - "basically all over the place", Alastair recalls. "You'd be swapped around from one country to another at the drop of the hat. It was living out of a suitcase," he adds. Alastair summed up those years as "loads of money , loads of time off, having a good time". In 1981, he found himself working as an exploration geologist in Kuwait, in the deepest oil well that had ever been drilled in the area at the time. The Kuwait Oil Company had arranged for its crew to be driven back and forth from their staff house in town to the oil rig in the desert. "That was happening every 12 hours and the driver was working both ends of the clock and moonlighting in between, so he was overly tired," Alastair says. He was being driven to the oil rig on the night of April 24, 1981, when the driver fell asleep at the wheel. "He went off the road in the desert - there wasn't tarmac, there was just sand," Alastair says. "The car flipped five times and I ended up underneath it. I really thought I was going to die at that point. "I was trapped by the car so I was trying to crawl out but I couldn't move." Locals who turned up at the site of the crash managed to lift the car off Alastair and drag him out of the wreckage. "We crashed between the police station and the hospital, which is probably the only reason I survived," he says. The exhaust pipe had burned a big hole in my back The driver was killed in the crash and Alastair was rushed to intensive care, having sustained multiple burns and injuries - including four fractured vertebrae, two broken ribs and a punctured lung. He also lost four pints of blood. Alastair underwent a blood transfusion and it later emerged that the blood he was given at the hospital was contaminated with hepatitis C. He says the infected blood stocks were supplied to the hospital from the US, which paid high-risk donors, such as prisoners and drug addicts, to give blood. He knew nothing about hepatitis C or the fact that he'd been given contaminated blood until he was flown back to the UK five weeks later. "The exhaust pipe had burned a big hole in my back," Alastair says. "They were going to do a skin graft, at which point they found out I was getting jaundice and I had hepatitis. "They couldn't do the skin graft because of the hepatitis." He spent a few more weeks in a London hospital, but it took four months for the scar to heal over. 'A straw that breaks the camel's back' This was just the beginning of Alastair's battle with hepatitis C. He continued working in the oil industry for a few more years, being put in charge of eight divisions of a Saudi oil company, before returning to the UK to become an IBM computer dealer. Alastair later set up his own photographic studio before taking up an administrative position at a school in the early 2000s. All the while, he was having his health monitored and was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1984. "They didn't know whether to treat the hepatitis first or the cancer," Alastair recalls. He underwent surgery to remove the cancer, and Alastair enrolled in a number of hepatitis C drug trials. Hepatitis C is a virus that's passed on through contact with infected blood. If not treated it can cause serious liver damage, making you feel very unwell. Over many years, hepatitis C damage can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer. More than nine in 10 people with hepatitis C can now get rid of the virus by taking tablets. These new hepatitis C medicines have been found to make treatment more effective, are easier to tolerate, and have shorter treatment courses. You might have hepatitis C for many years before you feel unwell, but early treatment can help to prevent liver damage. Without treatment, the virus can cause inflammation, which can lead to your liver becoming tough and scarred. This is known as “fibrosis”. Over time, the damage can build up. This can lead to serious liver disease such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. Symptoms of hepatitis C After first being infected with hepatitis, most people will have no symptoms but some might experience: Fatigue Loss of appetite Feeling or being sick Fever (high temperature over 38C) Stomach ache Muscle or joint aches and pains Jaundice (a yellow colour to your eyes or skin) Some can get rid of the virus without any treatment, but if you still have the virus six months later this is called "chronic hepatitis". Many people only find out that they have hepatitis C once they start to get symptoms of liver disease. These symptoms include: Feeling very tired Itchy skin Feeling sick Joint pains Stomach ache and bloating Mood changes Brain fog and memory problems Jaundice (a yellow colour to your eyes or skin) Source: British Liver Trust "My way of looking at it was, if they do find a drug and it becomes too expensive, it will take NICE an awfully long time to approve it," he says. "So I'm better off going on the trials, in which case if it cures it, I'll be buying time." He adds: "Outwardly, I was fairly good. "Hepatitis is a bit like a straw that breaks a camel's back. "You're okay to the point where the liver doesn't function and all of a sudden you shut down." Alastair went on three sets of 48-week treatments for interferon medications, which used to be standard treatments for hepatitis C. He recalls: "It was pretty horrendous to start with. Your immune system would go down to virtually zero. "You had to try and isolate yourself and you were injecting yourself in the stomach twice a day for 48 weeks. "You felt like crap, basically." Alastair adds: "Nowadays, hepatitis C is far more treatable than it was when I first started." But he warns: "A lot of people have got it and don't know they've got it." The sooner you're diagnosed, the sooner doctors can get rid of it Due to having hepatitis C, Alastair was having his liver monitored by ultrasound every six months - which is how he found out he had liver cancer. Doctors spotted a small tumour in his liver in November last year, which was removed. But as more tumours emerged following the procedure, Alastair received a terminal diagnosis in July 2024 and was given just six to nine months to live. The 67-year-old says he isn't eligible for a liver transplant due to blood clots forming in his portal vein, which carries blood from organs in the abdomen to the liver. The most common types of liver cancer in the UK are hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and bile duct cancer. With early HCC, you may not have any symptoms. As the cancer advances, symptoms may be quite vague, especially if you already have symptoms from other liver disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis. You may just find you: Feel sick Have no appetite, or feel full after eating very little Lose weight without trying Other symptoms may include: Tummy pain Abdominal swelling Feeling generally unwell and lacking in energy Pain in your right shoulder – because the enlarged liver is irritating nerves that supply the shoulder Jaundice As for bile duct cancer, you may again get vague symptoms like feeling sick or loss of appetite. If the cancer blocks bile ducts, you may develop jaundice. You may also have Itching Dark wee Pale, putty coloured poo Flu-like symptoms of muscle aching, fever and tiredness Source: Liver Cancer UK He's currently undergoing immunotherapy treatment every three weeks. Alastair says he now feels "accepting" of his situation. "There's nothing much I can do," he explains. "I am having immunotherapy, but that's only going to delay it. It's not going to change the outcome." He adds: "I've kind of been expecting it for 40 years." His wife Denise, 71, on the other hand, "never quite believed [him], so it was more of a shock for her". "My wife thinks I'm unemotional, but I'm a realist," Alastair says. "I'm slowly coming around to my diagnosis." Plea to get tested Alastair is urging anyone who thinks they might be at risk of hepatitis C to get tested for it. "The sooner that they pick it up, the sooner they can get rid of it," he says. "So if it can be done in three months, you've got 34 years of liver damage that you can avoid." Hepatitis C is picked up through blood tests.

Homeland Security shares new details of mysterious drone flights over New JerseyST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — Maverick McNealy finally became a winner on the final tournament of his fifth year on the PGA Tour, hitting 6-iron to 5 feet for birdie on the 18th hole at Sea Island for a 2-under 68 and a one-shot victory in the RSM Classic. He picked the right time to end nine holes without a birdie, even as so many others were making them to create a four-way tie for the lead. The victory came in his 134th start as a pro, and it sends him to Maui to start the year at The Sentry and to the Masters in April for the first time. Daniel Berger missed a 20-foot birdie attempt on the 18th that preceded McNealy's winner. He tied for second with Nico Echavarria and Florida State sophomore Luke Clanton, both of whom missed par putts from inside 8 feet on the final hole that created the four-way tie. Berger got a small consolation prize, moving inside the top 125 to keep a full PGA Tour card for 2025 when the fields will be smaller and only the top 100 will keep cards. Henrik Norlander, who was No. 126 in the FedEx Cup last year, had a 63-68 weekend and joined Berger as the two players who moved into the top 125. For Joel Dahmen, it was a matter of staying there. He was at No. 124 coming into the final tournament, had to make a 5-foot par putt just to make the cut on the number and then delivered a tee-to-green clinic — along with holing a 113-yard sand wedge for eagle early in his round — for a closing 64. It was enough to stay at No. 124 with nine points to spare. “Two of the biggest pressure moments of my career I showed up, and I can take that going forward,” Dahmen said. Clanton was a shot away from joining Nick Dunlap as amateur winners on the PGA Tour this year. Clanton, who has taken over as the top-ranked amateur in the world, now has two runner-up finishes and four top 10s in the seven PGA Tour starts the last five months. He had the look of a winner, especially with McNealy stuck in neutral, when he poured in birdie putts on the 14th and 16th holes to tie for the lead. But he tugged his approach to the 18th into bunker, blasted out nicely to 7 feet and stooped over in disbelief when he missed his par putt and had to settle for a 66 . “It’s going to be a tough one to definitely take, for sure, after bogeying the last,” Clanton said. “But I think it’s proven to me that out here I can win, so I’ll be training for that.” Echavarria, who won in Japan a month ago, had not made a bogey all day until going long on the 18th, chipping to 9 feet and catching the lip with his par putt. Michael Thorbjornsen was poised to move into the top 125 until he pulled his approach into the water on the par-5 15th hole and made bogey, closing with three pars for a 69. He tied for eighth and finished at No. 129. Thorbjornsen still has a full card next year from being No. 1 in PGA Tour University, but his status won't be as high. McNealy, son of Sun Microsystems co-founder Scott McNealy, had been doing some of his best work outside the ropes, particularly effecting a change in FedEx Cup points distribution to make it more equitable. Missing was a victory, and this one came down to the wire. He went out in 33 and led by two going to the back nine, and then it became a grind. He holed a 15-foot par putt from the fringe on the 11th to stay in the lead, and saved par after going bunker-to-bunker on the 13th. But he dropped a shot with an errant drive on the 14th, and when Echavarria birdied the 15th ahead of him, McNealy was out of the lead for the first time all day. He answered at just the right time, a 6-iron that covered the flag and settled just over 5 feet away. The victory gets him into three $20 million events over the first two months of the year, along with his first trip to the Masters. AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf

Fury claimed that Till’s refusal to abide by boxing rules and threaten with “kicking and other stupid MMA tactics” caused him to pass on facing the former UFC star. That’s clearly not an issue for Chalmers, a former reality television star who has competed across multiple disciplines, including MMA. In a post to Instagram, Chalmers wrote, “More than happy to take this fight since [Fury] shit himself.” !!️ Aaron Chalmers is prepared to fight Darren Till at any time, as he was previously in negotiations to face him ️ [Via - @AaronCGShore on IG] pic.twitter.com/jCCxPV5W72 In a video, Chalmers claimed he was originally in negotiations to fight Till in December before Fury booked the fight instead. The onetime Bellator competitor went as far as to welcome Till mixing the martial arts should they meet in the boxing ring. “I’m game to fight Darren in December, January, February, so I will happily step in and take Tommy Fury’s purse and fight Darren Till,” Chalmers said in an accompanying video. “He can happily throw head kicks at me because he’ll get one straight back. No danger whatsoever, so there you go.” Chalmers’ most recent fight took place in the Misfits Boxing ring in September 2023, when he lost by third-round TKO (corner stoppage) to Idris Virgo. Saunder is coming off of his first-ever loss, an eighth-round stoppage loss to Canelo Alvarez in May 2021 that saw Saunders suffer serious damage to his eye socket. He hasn’t fought since, but sounds eager to return to fight Till. !!️ Billy Joe Saunders (30-1) is willing to fight Darren Till on January 18th pic.twitter.com/aRggfyjs0P “Make an offer I’ll step in,” Saunders wrote in an Instagram Story. “Old fat gypsy boy will take this over from here.” Prior to his loss to Canelo, Saunders was 30-0 in his pro career. Perhaps the least surprising callout came from Misfits Boxing light heavyweight champion Anthony Taylor. The former MMA fighter is known for calling out everyone in sight and he has Till on his list, according to a comment he made on social media. Anthony Taylor vs Darren Till Main Event book it @MisfitsBoxing “Anthony Taylor vs. Darren Till,” Taylor wrote. “Main event, book it [Misfits Boxing].” Misfits Boxing officials have made no announcement as to whether an attempt will be made to keep Till on the card or if he will be rescheduled for another date.

One of the ‘best’ Scotland teams must target the Six Nations

California will revive its own subsidy programs for electric vehicles if Donald Trump guts US federal tax breaks for such cars, the state's governor said Monday. The president-elect has said repeatedly he would scrap what he called the "electric vehicle mandate" -- actually a $7,500 federal rebate for anyone who purchases an EV. Gavin Newsom, who heads the solidly Democratic state and has pitched himself as a leader of the anti-Trump political resistance, said Monday California was not "turning back" towards polluting transport. "We will intervene if the Trump Administration eliminates the federal tax credit, doubling down on our commitment to clean air and green jobs in California," Newsom said. "We're not turning back on a clean transportation future -- we're going to make it more affordable for people to drive vehicles that don't pollute," he added. "Consumers continue to prove the skeptics wrong -– zero-emission vehicles are here to stay." If Trump scraps the tax credit, California could revive its own Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, which ran until November 2023, granting rebates of up to $7,500 for people buying battery-powered cars, a press release said. California leads the nation in electric vehicle adoption, and is the single biggest market in the country, representing around a third of all units sold in the United States. State figures show that more than two million so-called "zero emission vehicles" -- which include fully electric vehicles as well as plug-in hybrids -- have now been sold in the state, with one-in-four new cars in that category. On the campaign trail, Trump was frequently hostile to electric vehicles, which he has linked with what he calls the "hoax" of climate change. He vowed repeatedly that under his watch the United States would become "energy dominant," chiefly through expanded oil and gas extraction. For many in California, such pledges are anathema, with the state frequently battered by the tangible effects of climate change, from huge wildfires to droughts to furious storms. Newsom -- who many believe has White House ambitions of his own -- has positioned himself as a bulwark against the feared excesses of an incoming Trump administration on issues from climate change to immigration, vowing to be a check on its power. With 40 million people, the sheer size of California's market has for a long time helped set the national tone when it comes to pollution standards for automakers. Rather than make two versions of the same vehicles, Detroit giants have willingly adopted California's tougher rules on emissions and efficiency for nationwide sales. That de facto standard-setting power has angered Republicans like Trump, who say -- on this issue -- states should not be allowed to set their own rules. hg/aha Get any of our free email newsletters — news headlines, sports, arts & entertainment, state legislature, CFD news, and more.
