The appointment came through today for Ian to go in for his investigations. It can't come soon enough now. I didn't think he looked very well today,his face was really swollen, a lot more so than usual, there is also something that looks as though it is growing outwards and this has all come on in a matter of weeks, so naturally I am concerned. Last year we were told the cancer had come back following a ct scan, but when they did the biopsys they found them to be negative and that it was just the adhesions from radiotherapy, which was great. But this year it just 'feels' different and the fact that he has visibly deteriorated so quickly doesn't help. The problem is that his mum and dad keep telling me to be optimistic. Well I'm afraid I am not an optimist, I am a realist! prepare for the worst but hope for the best. Fortunately my family are realists too and it is nice to be able to talk frankly to them without them thinking I am being negative. With luck it will be just the adhesions causing the problem. We'll just have to wait and see.

Hi there, just wanted to say my thoughts are with you both and I hope you get the results you are hoping for. The waiting and not knowing are definitely the worst. The imagination runs riot. I should know! So, best wishes to you both, hope it all goes well, Christine xx
