Hi , posted several times over last couple years on group and always successful answers.
well just wee update.
Halloween 24 after having slight cough since end summer went to doc. Doc (new/ good) got xray done chest area , slight shadow but he wasn't happy and MRI required. Call on NYE to see Doc, got news i expected cancer back to lungs and wee bit of spread. Stage 4
Jump till today , just out of hospital after week stay, Big C has spread like bad gossip. My t12 vertebrae is crumbled hence stay, im still mobile but mostky bed bound.
The grim reaper has decided I'm too good a catch and isnt letting go. Looks like according to consultants between 2-3 month to several weeks. No treatment just care
Sorry for all background
Any all this post is simply for is me pleading to you guys to never think im fine , always get checked out.
Its my 60th Sunday and I intend to enjoy it !!!!!
please I'm not wanting sympathy, I've have a good innings.

Brian the Snail
A snail slides into a bar and asks for a whiskey and coke.
The barman says "we don't serve snails here" and throws him out.
A week later he's back and says, "what the f..k did you do that for?"
Have an absolutely wonderful birthday .......I shall raise a glass to you....but not whisky and coke. Lots of love Brian.
