It is 6 months since I last put anything on my blog and that was just after sinding out that I would have to have a pelvic exenteration. I had already had 6 weeks of radiotherapy and 6 cycles of chemo but as the cancer had not gone something drastic had to be done.
Well I am pleased to say that after nearly 7 weeks in total in hospital including being rushed back twice I am now at the other side of it all!! It was confirmed that the surgery provided clear margins and this week I went back to work for the first time since I was diagnosed on 14th June 2010.
For anyone out there who might stumble across this and is having surgery for a pelvic exenteration I want to say it is not easy obviously but it is not nearly as bad as you think it is going to be. I live my life more or less the same as before but I have to plan in advance and be organised much more than I was.
I have been left a very different person than the one that first came on here 12 months ago but I am living and for that I will be forever grateful.
I have been very fortunate and lucky to have had some wonderful family and friends supporting me and to them I cannot thank you enough.
