Hi Monty

I call mine Alien, after the movie. I'm going to cast it out of my ship!

Cheers 

That’s a brill name You should play the theme of from the Onedin Line when you have beaten it which am sure you will Positive attitude with a smile and humour How is Sigourney these days lol 

Keep at it Brent you will get there and thank you 

She's ace, as always!

Hi Monty …What a fantastic fighting spirit  …I’m positive everyone in this group is behind you and willing you on every step of the way ..I don’t think anyone r wanted to find themselves here but it really does help to share experiences ..My husband has  come through his treatment and surgery for Stage 2 OC …All looking positive but not heard the magic words ‘You’re cured ‘ yet …I think he has to wait another four and a half years years for that ! ….Wishing you well with everything …..Regards J

Awwww Thank you so much for your kindness Hope your hubby keeps hearing positive news and I has my fingers crossed for not only he but you and your families too as fighting Rommel doesn’t just affect fellow Rommel diagnosed peeps but their family and friends too Everyone has been so supportive and kind since I was diagnosed 

it’s all new for me and having aplastic anaemia that was born with on top of this to cope with it’s going to be really tough as my blood cells red white and platelets are always a third lower from the minimum but I has the best Haematologist consultant money couldn’t buy whose consultation with me on our quarterly zoom call may have saved my life as she didn’t like the sound of my symptoms I describe I been having for three weeks She got me an endoscopy done within two weeks then last week after getting my results from it an appointment with the General Surgery Team last Friday to be told about Rommel and what happens next etc 

Took a week off work as my GP thought it was a good idea as am exhausted from a slight lack of sleep that would be a bit harder as I work nights so needs a full rest really before the CT scan on Sunday Am still positive and philosophical about it all Had to be really as my blood disorder has always affected my health so always fought about that I was born with a rare syndrome only 27 or so people on last count in the world have my condition Aase Syndrome so hospitals treatment etc I been used to all my 55 years of life 

Tell your hubby and you too keep battling as in four and half years time I want to hear you ringing that bell as you leave the Rommel ward for the last ever time This will be my bell I be ringing when I get the you are cured chat https://youtu.be/E9wWBjnaEck

Good luck to you both and keep going Monty H
