Hi all , I’ve got my pre assessments nxt week and January again for my two bouts of brachnytherapy, but lo and behold Thursday started a Crohn’s flare which resulted in the ambulance guys trying to get me off bedroom floor as it gets bad with stomach cramps etc , so a four day stay and back home this evening, don’t need this added extra with what’s in store re brachnytherapy soon , thank god for morphine at Hossy lol
Hi Worriedwife, poems on hold as i am doing a speech at the weekend on prostate cancer. Have been told there could be over 200 guests, "wasn't told this when i was volunteered", anything for the "get tested cause" though is worth it, I'm with you on researching, always loved learning especially about people or things close to you. and it exercises the brain as well, happy learning, Eddie
Well that’s my brachnytherapy procedure cancelled for the 5 Jan ! The c diff in my system means they won’t risk it till February now , but gutted by that as the wait goes on a bit longer , oh and I will get this bit on end of my email sorted soon as lol
Cheers , Jonny mac
Morning Jonnymac22 Well that's a bummer - (no pun intended!!). At least it's still on once your c-diff has cleared up. You know the treatment's coming so just keep fit (I assume you are throwing bricks around all day).
Have you seen the posts from Alpine Wanderer ? He's had his seed done this week and all went well with no issues and no pain.
Best wishes - Brian.
