[The 77-year-old, who led the party between 1988 and 1999, described how he had been diagnosed
with the disease within the last month.
Speaking to the Somerset Live website,
Lord Ashdown said: "I have known for about three weeks that I am suffering from a cancer of the bladder."]

Very very sad indeed.

He is one of the very few politicians who I can stand. He is a fighter and I'm sure he'll be back on top form.

Awful news.
Hope things turn out positive for him with care and treatment.

Hopefully they recovery quickly and it's pain free (i.e. not affecting nerves). Bladder pain in general is a real b****.
