Ok. first of all. I hope everyone I recall speaking with and receiving kind messages from last year are still around and thriving.
I am here again. My cancer has re-emerged from the dark recesses of its poisoned pit of ugliness to try and get another foothold. and im not having it!
My oncologist told me a few days ago that I am going to need a RPLND - a lymph node dissection.
Scans have shown that something is growing and needs to come out.
(heard this one before im sure) I havent been given a date as yet, the surgeons who perform this delicate operation are few and as such are probably returning from their caribbean holidays to a mountain of requests.
When I DO get a date I shall be able to focus on it like a boxer prepares for his next big fight. so bring it. Ill even shave my own tummy for the big day.
If anyone would like a little background on my experience with bollock cancer, please feel free to peruse my posts from last year, seems the new macmillan site layout has wiped all the comments and those in my friends list. so do come say hello.
Robert. :)
