Hi all ! ︎

Morning glad you’re finding the forum helpful to you … I’ve read your story and wish you well in your ongoing recovery

Good morning Sculptor, a very warm welcome to the group, but sorry you find yourself here. 

I hope the recovery is going well for you. You are right, we do all have a wobble, I myself have been quiet on the site whilst I await CT results this week. 8 years on and you would think it would get easier, but your mind then starts thinking how long can I carry on being lucky for ? It’s a constant journey of ups and downs, but we ride the storm and we have some very clear moments of strength. 

Look forward to chatting with you more x 

Good morning Sculptor

pleased you are finding this forum helpful. How is your recovery going, will you be requiring any additional treatment for your cancer. I like you have found this site a great support and continue to do so.

Have a great day Donna

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the welcome, its good to be among people with a shared experience

Thanks Donna, my recovery from surgery is going well, 3 weeks post op and i have managed to drop off half of my strong painkiller (Oxycodene) and am mobilising more each day, I have managed a lovely 5 mile canal walk this morning, albeit at a slow pace and getting very breathless, but I am a very positive minded life-a-holic and intend beating the hell out of my cancer!!

The diagnosis came as a complete shock, am (was) a fit & healthy bloke with a physical job and outdoor lifestyle, no symptoms whatsoever until i coughed a small amount of blood 3 weeks prior to finding my 7cm tumour!! Mind blown!

I am still waiting to find out what course of treatment awaits, it has been indicated i will require chemo, so my intention is to get as fit as possible again before further treatment.

My advice is "Pull on your wellies and jump in every puddle"!!!!

Dave.

Wish you a good luck Sculptor
