Where is everyone?

Still here wombles . You are doing great and always a pleasure to see you pop back up .

Hope life is treating you well and getting ready for your summer . It’s been a wet one here but enjoying a few beautiful September days . 

Mum continues in her treatment and all in all coping well . Off out with my cousin for ice cream this afternoon then she will come for tea here . All good .

Take special care , stay well and peace of mind is everything .

Great to see you backwombles . I don’t blame you wanting reassurance, and you have had prostate ca as well. The fear of recurrence never goes away. You have done well.

I am all clear too, 14 years for breast ca and 5 1/2 years for colon ca. Feel  very lucky.

Take care 

Hi wombles I’m still here too! Good to hear from you. 10 years wow! I’m coming up to 7 in November and was discharged from the hospital after a colonoscopy in 2021 but totally understand your reasoning - I think we should get them every 5 years for peace of mind too.

Lovely sunny day here today. Hubby abandoned watching the cricket so I’m off to join him sitting in the garden

Take care

Thanks for the replies. Good to catch up. I hadn’t  seen any new posts for ages! Last meal soon before the prep tomorrow. Such fun …

Here we go then. About to go to the clinic. Awful day with the prep but it must be done. A diet of black coffee, bovril drinks, lemon jelly and water. Up five times in the night so hope that’s it.

The report back this morning! No polyps. Just an inguinal hernia by or in the distal colon (I think.) Dr sent a text saying no new findings and nothing of concern. But I’ll have a ph appt on Tuesday to see what some of the terms mean. 

Excellent news wombles setting you up nicely for a good summer .

You can relax and enjoy this next chapter in your life .

Copd? Some changes in lungs but no focal abnormality which must be good. Dr gave me steroids, antibiotics and a puffer which relieved awful coughing mostly at night. Trying to sleep sitting up. Hmmmm. Wife has coughing fits too but I don’t think she caught copd off me! Maybe we caught a bug. Seeing Dr again tomorrow and will blow into a spirometer I believe. I’ve had worse things happen to me! Love from a Springy NZ. 

Big day today. 10 years since my bowel cancer surgery. Still quite vivid memories, but no concerns. Best wishes to all. X
