Hi everyone
It’s been ages since I last posted on here. I feel a bit selfish to be honest. Having had bowel cancer successfully removed with surgery just over 2 1/2 years ago, I’ve now been told I have liver cancer. They believe it was there all along, but was too small to see on previous scans. I was expecting to get the all clear, so my head is spinning. I’m lucky that I had a face to face appointment earlier today, and know roughly what order things will happen in, but feel like I’m still in shock. I don’t really want people to feel sorry for me. I just needed to get it off my chest. I separated from my husband last year, and life was just feeling good. Im certainly going to stay positive and look after myself even better than before. Thanks for listening!
Oh bless you-similar story here for my husband- who has lung spots as well as liver too- after bowel and liver ops - we are positive too-there is a plan- Will think of you. Positivity really helps. Be really really kind to yourself xx

Thanks so much for sharing your husband’s story. I’m determined to stay positive. Wishing you and him all the very best.
Having a bit of a wobble today. Hospital rang to book my scan for 5th August. My consultant had said it would be two or three weeks. It’s made me worry that it’s worse than he let on. The daft thing is that yesterday I was jumping up and down when I realised I was eligible for a covid booster!
Hi Jools63
I have sat through 35 scans with my mum and they have never slotted her into an emergency one . I think they are probably kept for surgical emergencies. More likely they have a cancellation during the holiday period .
Certainly nothing of concern .
Take care and hope your day picks up !

Bless you as always with your voice of calm and reasoning. Had a chat with my friend who lives across the road. He’s had bladder cancer. Waiting to see if the chemotherapy has worked it’s magic. He was saying that people keep asking him what next. He’s a very calm and positive person, so just says I’ve no idea! So lucky to call him my friend.
