Uh oh.

I sent FP a text message earlier enquiring if he'd like to meet up for a pint. It's been months since we last saw each other. I can't remember exactly when, but it must be early November or before.

The message I got back wasn't great. FP is ill, and not your stomach bug or 'flu ill but something more serious. Possibly a lot more serious. 

He wasn't getting into details over text and promised that he'll call me over the weekend, but this sounds really bad. I don't think he has a full diagnosis yet but says that things will become clearer within the next few weeks.
