Just to wind this thread up , saw the specialist on the 19th and he is very pleased , " good clean operation " were his words .No sign of any spread ,so no chemo required at all . Recovery will be anything up to 9 months , so I should be good to go by summer . I’d sooner be lucky than rich and I count myself extremely lucky , bits missing but still here . Thanks everyone for your good wishes and kind words . Dave
Good news Dave ! That must have been a great relief after seeing the specialist !
Should have kept my gob shut . I’ve been having a lot of pain lately so the Mcmillan nurse did X-ray and a ct.scan , it seems that the cancer has possibly returned . More intensive scans , prodding and poking before it is totally decided , but the doctor indicated that she thought it is probably back . Ah well , no use grumbling they will do everything they can and I’ll just have to roll with the blows . I can’t have chemo due to my other health problems , but radio therapy is an option so I’ll just wait and see what is decided . Dave

Sorry to read this Dave. Good to see you’ve still got your sense of humour.

Hiya,
Sorry to hear that Riggers mi old mate, having been there and got the
tee shirt I do have a good idea how your feeling, it’s been eleven years
for me have been given the all-clear with no more check-ups you still
wonder every time you get a twinge or have an off day has the thing
returned keep as cheerful as you can you can beat the “c” thingy your
a strong fellah’ and you sound well chirpy, I’ll be thinking about you and
most of all good buddy keep in touch and keep posting.
thanks harry, long retired.
Best of luck Dave. The quacks can err on the gloomy side, so fingers crossed, they will be proved wrong this time. Stay positive like you have done in the past 6 months. Thinking about you keeps my mind off my new Colostomy bag - old age - you grow up and it bites you in the whatnot. Jim.
Just seen this. Sorry to hear this news, let’s hope they are wrong.
It is hard, I know. I had a cancer last year and it takes a lot of effort to keep positive. But that can be a tremendous force within you if you keep it focused. I live each day thankful that I have the day and enjoy my family 100% every day! My wife suffered, mentally, more than I did I reckon. We fought together! Hang in there and do what the Docs say. It worked for me and I hope it will for you too. It seems the whole Forum is wishing you well!
Let’s hope we all have many, many more days ahead of us, eh?

Sorry to hear this fella,It seems to be a common thing that after surgery patients are told they are in the clear only for it to return very soon after as it did with my wife.
Not completely sure why they tell you this after surgery to be honest maybe it’s just to keep you positive to aid your recovery,since my wife was diagnosed I’ve seen many people on different forums ect go through surgery and be told exactly the same as you and my wife were told only for it to make a re appearance within a few months,maybe it never went away in the first place.
Hope you find a treatment going forward,good luck.
