NHS leg pain











A quick update from me on the results of my back from hols CT scan last week.
The marker cancer nodule in my peritoneum has grown about 0.5cm all round and is now about the size of a thumbnail. No signs of aggressive disease there or any disease elsewhere so no more chemo just yet. However, I'll be having a complete day out on the NHS at the Royal Surrey in Guildford next Tuesday; initially about a post-surgery abdominal hernia I've developed, followed by some nuclear medicine/radioactive fluorine (ie positron emission tomography or PET scan) to have a look for any cancer signs elsewhere at the cellular level. If there's none (and that's a big IF) then they want to have a look at removing the nodule surgically next year. Apparently this is largely to do with surgical technique development - it's a 10 hour operation!
Millwall in the evening might seem a bit tame after all this - any pregnant women or children near WSUD, Row O should avoid the old git in a flat cap surrounded by a green glow.

That's good news mate, proves that the research is bringing new treatments and surgical methods, hopefully one day they might find something for me but at the moment alls well and it's still stable. There was talk of a pet scan early in my diagnoses but it never happened sounds a bit scary lol.

I know exactly how you must be feeling. They say time heals, but, in all honesty, it doesn't. Emotions cannot, just, be terminated when life is. Keep strong, your kids will need you now.

My thoughts are with you and your family. Life can seem unfair at times, i don't think you ever get over it, you just get used to it. My Son would have been 20 this year (he died very young), every day i think about him. Try to think how lucky you were to share time with people you loved and be strong for yourself and your family.

Best wishes too, to the other guys who are unwell and going through treatment.
