The rest of monday was a daze. We had to go and tell my parents, my siblings and my in laws,which wasn't easy. Even now, writing this is hard cos it makes me think of it over again. We decided to keep the kids(13 and 16) in the dark until after Xmas as it wouldn't do any good to spoil it for them. By the wednesday, the clinical nurse specialist from our local hopsital contacted us and said the MDT team had gone through my notes and scans and assessed my cancer as operable. This was at the time much...
It started off back in October this year. One minute I'm fine, the next I'm doubled up at a customers home, later that day I'm admitted to hospital after tests with a suspected knackered gall bladder. I've turned yellow and my back and upper chest hurts. So I'm booked for an op 6 weeks later to have the thing removed and sent home with some painkillers and told to avoid fatty foods. Nothing to worry abou there I thought. While somewhat stunned by the radical alteration it would mean...
Hi to everyone who knows me on here and hello to those who don't.
Its been along while since I last blogged although I have stuck around to support my old friends and others who have come along needing to be supported at the beginning of their journey.
I just wanted to bring everyone upto date of where I am 9 months after treatment ended.
The last time I blogged it was to say that I was awaiting a reversal of my colostomy.
It has now been 8 months since I was referred to a surgeon and 5 months...

Playing the waiting game trying not to think about my pre op and consultation tomorrow and a dogs trust calendar dropped through the door. It made me smile so I thought I would share with you.
Not sure if I will get the CT results tomorrow and to be honest I am not sure what I am expecting because when I did not get the all clear I was that disappointed and shocked I failed to ask any questions ...... stupid I know!

I've been back to work now seven weeks which is mad, time has just wizzed by. Not commented much lately feel a bit weird really now the active part of my treatment has been completed (finished my RT 10th Sept) that I find myself just reading and not commenting on blogs. My life has been changed forever by cancer and I'm not angry about that a lot of positive things have happened. I love my job (I work part-part time, (slacker) at a local primary school with 9 year...
