Stiliyan Petrov has admitted he is lucky to be alive after speaking for the first time about his battle with leukaemia. In an emotional address at Aston Villa’s training ground, the former Bulgaria skipper said he realised how fortunate he was after learning more about the disease. The Villa captain, 33, is now in remission from the cancer following 13 months’ treatment. He has come through chemotherapy and now has to take tablets for the next two years. ![]() ![]() After being told of his condition when routine blood tests flagged up a problem, Petrov worked overtime to get himself in peak condition. And it seems as though his industry has paid off, although he did not hide his relief at having come through a difficult 12 months. ‘I have finished all of the high-intensity treatment,’ he said. ‘From now on I’ll be on the softer one. It’s been a very, very long year. I had my hard moments but I had good moments as well. ‘I can say I’m lucky because some people with this disease will die very quickly and I managed to keep battling and still be here, still standing. It’s really good, that’s a great thing. ‘And now, after all of this, I can go back to a normal life. I can start doing things that I couldn’t do in the last year.’ ![]() ![]() ![]() As he had the acute form of the illness, medics wanted to begin treatment immediately, his chances of survival rated at 50-50. But he has been in remission since the start of the season. ‘At the start I thought it was just a cold, nothing serious — just something normal,’ he said. ‘When I was told what exactly the diagnosis was I was a little bit shocked but I accepted it and just wanted to start the treatment straight away. My doctor, Richard Lovell, told me quickly that I had to start treatment. I knew I couldn’t waste time and I had to make decisions quickly. ‘I didn’t know anything about the disease when it happened. I didn’t know anything about the treatment, how long it would go on for, what would happen. ‘I thought it was dragging on. I kept thinking, “When is this going to finish?” but with a lot of support and patience from friends and family, I managed to pull through.’ Petrov said he had been humbled by the reaction from supporters, not just from Villa and his former club Celtic, but across Britain.
