Well I talked with the specialist yesterday and I am to see him next friday for a CT scan and immediately following I am seeing him in his office. I have gotten my records from 2 years ago and they do stated that I have pseudomyxoma Peritonei and a colonoscopy from October 2008 when they took a biopsy confirmed it too. Now I am just sitting here waiting to see the doctor to find out what he wants to do, It is going to be a very long week and a half.

Despite the fact that I'm anxious to hear from the hospital with a date for a consultation with a microsurgeon to discuss my possible DIEP reconstruction, I will be motivated to do good things for myself today.
I will go for a walk in the lovely heath behind my home. I will do my strengthening exercises to prepare for surgery. I will propagate some seeds in the greenhouse - very early carrots, sweet peas and coriander. I will gather more books for my Kindle library. I will dust and vacuum my home...
Mum has taken a turn for the worse, I really thought the radio treatment had helped as she was regaining the feeling in her right hand. But no now her left hand has a mind of its own knocking things over. She fell twice yesterday and looks like she's done 3 rounds with mike Tyson! So she's now confined to bed it was heart breaking when she looked at me and said is this the end? I lied to her and said no you will fight this,It's not time to give up. When really I wish for her sake before she gets...

Saturday morning and there were clumps of hair on the pillow so I did what any caring Husband would do and got my trimmer out and gave Julie a Number 1. The trimmer in one hand and the Hoover in the other - just the thing for a lazy morning in bed.
I wish I looked as good as her with no hair..........lol
Sunday was a good day. Julies mum was 80 so we booked a table at a local eatery for 20 and had a big family get together. Julie was OK but the time spent in the dining chair had to be compensated...
Well, I thought this blog would be a great place for me to explore my emotions by writing about my second journey with cancer. I'm hoping that it will help motivate me prepare for surgery and do all the things that make me happy in life: playing and listening to music, cooking, gardening, reading, being with my new partner, and enjoying my friendships.

Well, this wasn't how I thought things were going to go, given the fact that up till last Wednesday consultants were telling me they didn't think anything was wrong. Last Wednesday morning I spoke to a gynae consultant about my abdominal pain and bloating and he said he would do a laparoscopy if i was so worried but he didn't think he would find anything significant i my 4cm ovarian cyst was perfectly normal for a woman of my age. He said i may just have to learn to live with whatever...
