its been sooooooo long

1 minute read time.

hello everyone on this fantastic site, its been a few days since i have written any of my thoughts down but with problems at home and at work i ant been able to get on here as much as i would like to.

But i got my PET scan results and apart from the odd goldfish there was nothing showing up, don;t know wether that is a good thing or not????

so its into the nhospital for some biopsies and to have my left tonsil removed and for him to have a prod about inside my throat, ice cream and jely for the first 48 hours, i know what you lot will say but my brother had his out at 6 and got it for 2 weeks so im having my mum get me some.

they tell me i have to refrain from doing things i would not normally do with my throat so the national yodelling championships are out this year. And the english spitting championships too. lol

so in to lincoln county hospital for a couple of nights then a few days rest and recuperation with my gf then its back to work. they recommend two weeks off but who pays the bills the oncologist was astonished when i told him i wanted to carry on working throo my treatment but he says he can accomodate me to have it late afternoon its only the last few weeks that cause a problem so i'll live with it my employer is ok with it and i dont o a strenuous job anyway so pushing a few buttons int real hard.

Seems he thinks most people want to have 3 or 4 months off while the treatment is administered, but i will try to stay at work as long as possible as i work a 6 on 3 off pattern so i should be ok we'll have to see.

I am not going to let the cancer rule my life i want to make the cancer  work with me and i will live with it not make me so that it kills me. Its a positive attitude that helps and this site too. humour is good i take it all in my stride

Any comments will be read and replied to

    I am sure your dad is saying " Thats my boy"

    Your right a positive outlook is what you need to beat this disease. A good sense of humour helps too as you know.

    I am happy to hear that your PET was clear. that is good news.

    So I wish you luck with your treatment and I hope you can remain at work as long as possible. I believe that working for as long as possible will be a good thing for you!

    All the best Love Julie XX

    Everyone does it differently, I'm of the, keep everything as normal as possible camp myself, keeping working or doing normal day to day things works for me.....

    But biggles..... Bad news matey.... They don't give you jelly and ice cream any more, to have to eat things like toast etc now..... Honestly, I had mine out when I was 5, jelly etc, my daughter had hers out when she was 15 .....toast etc.....so suck it up buddy he he he....

    Seriously, good luck with everything
