I walked into Oncologists room & before I had even sat down he said "Great scan", the relief was so intense, I told him I was going to kiss him if it was good so he told me to anyway.
I really feel overwhelmed, I know its incurable but if everytime it comes back I can kick its ass then thats what I'll strive to do.
Back in June I brought my wedding forward as didnt know what future held, had surgery again & then RFA on remaining kidney & all were successful with no signs of...
3 years today my wondeful son was cruelly taken so I just had to write something. I see Lee everyday in one way or another so you are never out of my mind. I see your wife and kids every week and spoil them best I can and remind your kids of your strength and bravery. You made us all so proud the way you conducted yourself throughout your pain trying to ease ours. We all miss you and know wherever you are is a better place for having you. I love you son.

Have appointment at 9:30 tomorrow for results of CT Scan, am petrified that its going to be bad news!, was watching my daughter tonight she is soooo looking forward to Christmas next week & I want it to be so special & I want to fully enjoy it not worrying if only for a while about cancer!
Will I be granted my Christmas wish?......I hope so
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...
