A nice brief reflection of my life today on @Independent_ie today by John Scally.

[Tim McCarthy @McTim11]

3 years after missing out on @masters through #prostatecancer battle, I got this amazing gift from @RoscommonGAA legend @donie_89 today and blown away by it. Should I wear it or keep it, a tough choice .

So sad to hear that the great Oscar Schmidt has passed away who was the leading Olympic points scorer with 1,093 points & has most points scored in a tournament-338 points & the highest ppg average with 42.3 pts & hit 55 points in a single game, a record @BballIrl @ExaminerSport

[Tim McCarthy @McTim11]

So sad to hear of the passing of Michael Lyster. I first met him at the @BballIrl cup finals in the 1990’ and then regularly in my time with @RTEgaa and @TheSundayGame, a gentleman whom I admired greatly and always felt he was the epitome of polish and class.
A sad day today.

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my special mum, we all believe our mums are special but mine was exceptional, I loved her and miss her everyday.

My final playing year , those were the days

Best wishes to everyone for the New Year.

What a year 2025 has been for me, After the highs of 2024 & the Olympic Games, I could not see at the start of this year how that could be bettered for me. However it was & is now one of the most special years in my life. #HappyChristmas #Boomshakalaka

Enjoyed reminiscing on the visit by @Globies to Cork in 1989 on the @PatKennyNT show today with @CameronHill18 what razzmatazz & phenomenal basketball skills they showed, omg how young I was at this event 😂@offtheball @Corkmensbball @BballIrl @echolivecork @irishexaminer

[Tim McCarthy @McTim11]

25 years has passed in a blink of an eye since you passed Mum and the pain is still the same. Think of you everyday. X

[Tim McCarthy @McTim11]

Going home to Cork even briefly gives me the chance to say hello to my mum & dad , chat a while & say a prayer. Life is a beautiful thing with so many wonderful memories, happy & sad but always remember that they loved me without asking for anything from me, they were so special.

[Tim McCarthy @McTim11]

Was at the @Bluedemons_BC v @BallincolligB game tonight in the @BballIrl super league game , really impressed with Ballincollig who deserved the W. Demons have a lot of work to do to get up the table. Loved meeting up with former teammates & friends @echolivecork @Corkmensbball

My granddaughter Heidi continues to see her star rise as she came 1st in 2000m u13s Offaly Championship in her own age group. So proud of her. @echolivecork @irishexaminer @RTEsport @offtheball

[Tim McCarthy @McTim11]

9 years ago you joined Mum in heaven, still miss both of you each day. Time goes by so quickly but heartache remains.❤️

[Tim McCarthy @McTim11]

Watching Court of Gold on @NetflixUK brought me right back to commentating on the Paris Olympics & @TeamUSA Gold medal
@StephenCurry30 was the difference in both semifinal & final with the best shooting performance ever in crunch time Loved it then & loved watching this series

[Tim McCarthy @McTim11]

Another brilliant performance by my granddaughter Heidi in winning a silver medal in the Offaly 2.5km in 14’s today though she is only 12. She is the girl on the right in the photo.

So proud of her and her performance , a brilliant athlete and a wonderful granddaughter. ❤️

I spoke today @ the Network (SUNN) 6th Education Conference at the Clayton Hotel, Galway today on my experience as a patient which focused on that I am me, I was me before my cancer diagnosis, I am me during my cancer treatment and will be me after it. Loved the experience.
