Former England and Manchester United midfielder Bryan Robson is confident of making a full recovery after undergoing surgery for throat cancer.<\/p>\n
Robson, currently managing Thailand after spells in charge of Middlesbrough, Bradford, Sheffield United and West Brom, had the operation in Bangkok on March 3 and is set to start a five-week course of treatment next week.<\/p>\n
He told talkSPORT: “The doctors have been very positive with what they’ve been telling me.<\/p>\n
“I’m over in England for a week and I’ll get a second opinion from a specialist here, but I am quite confident about going back out there and receiving the treatment.<\/p>\n
“Fingers crossed everything will be clear within a couple of months.<\/p>\n
“When I return to Thailand next week I’ll start on a five-week course of radium treatment and just keep my fingers crossed. They are very good over there on the medical side and they’re very confident that it’s treatable and I should make a recovery.”<\/p>\n
The 54-year-old also paid tribute to the speed of the treatment he received in Thailand following his diagnosis.<\/p>\n
“I thought I just had a sore throat, so I went into the hospital to see the doctor on the Monday,” he said.<\/p>\n
“He diagnosed it straight away, I had the MRI scan on the Tuesday and he operated on me on the Thursday, so that’s how efficient they are over in Thailand.”<\/p>\n
Robson, who won 90 caps for his country, also thanked fans for the messages of support he has received since reports of his illness emerged.<\/p>\n
He said: “I’ve had a fantastic response from football fans all over the country and Europe since it came out in the media.<\/p>\n
“When things like this come up you’ve got to be positive and get on with it.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
