Hi everyone, This is a short update.

I saw the Stoma nurse on Thursday, and she was very happy with how the stoma was looking, and with the way I was looking after it. yay!

I saw the Surgeon yesterday (6 weeks after surgery consultation), he said the Barbie butt was looking very good, and that I could shower now. I had a shower and Wow, it felt good!

The not-so-good news is that I am going to need MRI scans in another 6 weeks, and then at 6 and 9 months after the op, they will then decide on the future scans. This is because there is a possibility that the Cancer could come back.

My Operation date is now the 31st of January. They expect me to be in the Hospital for about 5 days after the keyhole surgery.

The delay is to allow me to lose some more weight and get fitter.

Onwards and upwards. My sense of humour is being worked hard but is mostly surviving, as am I.

Take care everyone, and thank you so much for your thoughts and wishes.

Do get those cancer screenings done!!

A short update:

I now have a provisional date for a colostomy operation - the 13th of January.

I am currently having a series of Pre-Op phone and physical meetings with the various teams that are involved, with the last, anaesthetics one, on December 21st,

My self-defence (dark) sense of humour is working overtime at the moment to keep me upbeat and smiling.

Stay safe everyone, and don't skip those Bowe (and other) Cancer checkups!

The latest update to this saga.

Just when I thought all was well...

My latest check-up (about 1 month ago led to a new MRI scan, then to a visit to a surgeon, who booked me in for a Biopsy as there was "Something that he and the Oncologist didn't feel happy about".

This Biopsy made them more concerned, and they gave me a PET-CT scan which happened last week. Today I received a call from one of the Oncology nurses to say that they confirmed that the same cancer was back, but that it hadn't spread, and they intended to treat it just with surgery for now, Also that I'd be contacted to arrange meetings to decide the best way forward, and to schedule the surgery etc.

I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm trying to grab sympathy, but, in this case, I'm trying to keep people informed of progress, If people don't wish to hear more, then just skip this thread. Venting does help me.
