Hello my lovelies.......................Yesterday was another 3 month check up with my consultant and this time I got to see my mad oncologist who I haven't seen for 6 months.........his face said it all when he clapped eyes on me, the biggest grin, I think I've ever seen. He just stood there in front of me and said "You look fantastic" my reply was "I know...I was born this way!" he went a got his other two partners in crime (my surgeons) and they stood there slapping each other and going on about who did the best work on me!!

I had to remind them that who did what to me and jokingly said You turned me into a bag lady (stoma), you gutted me like a fish and you poisoned me so well I almost died................I also may have had a little some thing to do with the results too. They all laughed and my oncologist said "Oh yes, just a bit, your fighting spirit and giving us grief (Oh yes, I gave em hell!)

They never expected me to pull through so I suppose they deserve to be chuffed with themselves. It was just so funny seeing these consultants behaving like a bunch of school boys and showing it, mind you they are all stark raving mad, well with me anyway, I tend to bring out the worst in people!!

My surgeons left the room and left me with the mad Cornish oncologist who got serious for a moment, after examining me ask me about reversing my stoma, to which i said no, because there is a good chance I still have cancer cells in me and while they are sleeping, no one is going in there and waking the buggers up, he agreed. He reminded me of what they had to do and how tough they where on me but they all felt I was strong enough to take it, then back came the grin on his face and he said he doesn't want to see me now until April. The next thing he said was "Right woman, you have out stayed your welcome" and shut the door on me. I could hear the git laughing down the corridor. You may think that was a bit rude of him, but that is the kind of relationship we have, a lot of banter and laughter. I love it and so does he. Love and hugs to those that want them.................Carol x

    What a fantastic Chrissie present!  For them and for you and your beloved. Congratulations girl, you deserve to be happy, afterall you've put a lot of work into this recovery of yours.

    It is surprising how Onc's can change their attitudes towards their patients.  I keep telling Peter that his Onc doesn't give him much hope because Peter is always hunched up and mumbling when the Onc comes in.  So, last week Peter leapt to his feet and shook the Oncs hand.  The shock on the face was brilliant all he could say was 'well you seem to be fighting back now'!  

    Have a really great Christmas, will raise a glass to you on the day.
