What a difference a month makes!

1 minute read time.

Greetings my macland buddies.

I try to post good news news to give people a boost and show that there is hope out there in macland. The last blog just over a month ago was to celebrate my 12 months in remission.

Well my friends a lot can happen in a month. Last week I had an emergency resection of the small intestine following a couple of weeks of internal bleeding. The abdominal CT scan showed mets on the small intestine, which I expected to hear but the mets on the liver was a bit of a shock. As soon as I'm well enough I'm seeing my specialist for a full CT/PET and we can then see how far and how fast it is spreading and discuss what the options are. 

I'm struggling to put a positive spin on this, best I can come up with at the moment is that at least I'll be off work for the BBQ summer they promised us! Oh - but even then I'll probably still be on a low fibre diet, eating soft "white" food. On the other hand, if the prognosis isn't good I might as well eat that charred steak anyway.

I'll keep you posted on the news

Love and gentle hugs, Sharry

    Hi Sharry,

    I hope you get the news you deserve, the waiting is so hard.

    I hope you get the bbq summer too and that you WILL be eating the soft white food and not the 'charred steak'
