can someone help me with the maths

1 minute read time.

well people ( in general family, friends , medical professionals ) are now talking to me like i already have 1 foot in the grave , not a plesant time and doesn't fill me with confidence . everybody seems to have that low , depressed tone to their voice and are suddenly talking to me like i'm 3 . i have a little problem thinking at the momment , probably due to lack of sleep ..or just being thick !

anyway can someone help me with the maths ...when i saw the surgen in the week he reccomends that i have complete removal of bladder , bowel and vagina ...by doing this it will give me a 1 in 5 chance of being cancer free ..but that also gives me an 80% chance the cancer will come back ..or i could have chemo ..i've had chemo twice before , both times it hasn't worked ..but of coarse theres different types to try ..if i have chemo i will have 6 - 12 months at the most ..probably . people as mentioned above , are now back tracking and saying i should maybe go the chemo route ...i don't think the sums add up ....had a visit from a palitive nurse today ..does that already mean i'm circling the drain ( a penny phrase) ?

i feel quite well ... ..just had a phone call from the g.p saying how sorry she was , deep depressed tone etc ...and asking me if i thought surgery was really worth it if the odds are so small ..what do you guys think ...?

    Hi Sammie, I've been wondering the same. I messaged admin who asked me to let them know which blog I want deleted and they will do it for me.

    I've been wondering how you are getting on, as I noticed this post was made last June. Did you go ahead with surgery?

    I hope you are doing well.

    Lol Sam, I didn't notice the date and was thinking it sounded familiar, but thought I was mixed up, cos I thought you had had your surgery etc, just proves that you were right to go ahead with it.... Ermmm debs..... For someone with gremlins in the brain, you can be quite sharp....at times he he he xoxoxoxoox

    yeah I know Liz, scary aint it LOL

    Its ok Sam, I've done it before too, noticed a spelling mistake on a blog & corrected it, not realising it catapults it back up top - and nope I don't know how we can edit/delete without it happening either.

    Just glad to know things haven't changed again - unless its for the better :)
