Title: Colonic polyps
Post by: Nick on June 25, 2021, 01:31:57 PM
Investigations have got to the bottom [snigger] of Nod's problem. He is having nightmares about having sharp things pushed up his arse to cut the little critters off.  eveilgrin:

I am vacillating between reassurance and winding up  rubschin:

I drop round for a coffee

Me: Good news about the polyps
Nod: Yes! Here is the letter

I read the relevant section

"Initial investigation reveals a lesion which requires further urgent investigation, and a couple of polyps. Call (phone number) asap to arrange for a biopsy."

Me: Um, this is not about polyps. They need you in asap for what looks like a biopsy of this lesion.

Nod: Lesion? What is a lesion. I must have overlooked that bit.   noooo:
Me: It could be cancer. You have to call them in the morning!!

As I leave, Nod says. "I think I might make a will this afternoon."

I guess we see what we want to see.  Ironically, this letter comes in the same week as Nod inherited £250K from his mum's estate....

Maybe he needs some help with that will... rubschin:

Poor Nod ...definitely a common theme this year  noooo:

One of the man's mate was saying he was having similar issues in that area for some time - but had been ignoring it and the regular screening offers. He is in his 60's.

He has a younger wife (45) who decided she would order some tests of Internet (as he had chucked others away ) and they would both do a test to encourage him to at least make the preliminary check.

Anyways he is fine but hers came up with concerns. She went to get it checked out and low and behold she has colon cancer ( no symptons) and was being operated on last week  noooo:

Thought I would take him out today to help him get things in perspective  angel1

Breedon on the Hill: Anglo Saxon abbey on a site occupied by the Romans on the site of a Bronze Age hill fort with evidence of earlier Neolithic occupation. I suggested this long continuity of human habitation reminded us of our insignificance in the span of time  (especially him  angel1).

Massive vistas across three counties. The scale reinforces our insignificance angel1

Took him inside and showed him the famous alabaster skeleton

Losing hair is usually more associated with chemo and it can grow back.  Both women I know that had chemo recently wore wigs but it grew back. 

AFAIK Radio Therapy is used for very localised treatment direct to the tumour or the site where it was removed from.

Anything to confuse and mystify you further  with levels, gradings , letters, roman numerals etc  lol:

As I understand it the a / b / c ratings are to do with the aggressiveness of the cancer cells  - so it would seem that with Nod the bastard cancer cells  are in the lymph or nearby tissue of his tumour. 

How is Nod doing with the treatment ??? 

The Man is also stage 3 - but during his op they also took out 48 Lymph Nodes in that area  eeek: and a small bite of his bladder .  eeek:   - the aim obviously to prevent further transmission .

4 months of chemo is due to end at the end of September  .  We are also likely to have scans this month to give us an indication of how successful this has all been - but signs are that it has been fairly successful.

The poor fella then just has to wait to go back in for another operation to have the stoma reversal  which was done at the time of his operation in April to give the resection of the bowel adequate time to heal and the superglue to work  lol:

If he wants some amusement in his hour of need  we went to the football at Wembley on Tuesday
The Man  had to empty his stoma bag ..he has his disabled key for use of the toilets for this very purpose.
However whilst he was  in there he just heard an  almighty kicking at the door. He was half way through a process he obviously couldn't stop.
So anyways when he opens the door there is a bloke in a wheelchair and 2 mates pushing him . The bloke was spouting abuse saying that The Man had been in there smoking ."thats all anyone does in those loos depriving the disabled of their facilities  !!! " Etc
Then he just started hitting The Man with his walking stick .
The Man as you can imagine was fuming . He snatched the stick and went to throw it back at him   but it was one of those fold up ones and just collapsed. Tommy Cooper eat your heart out  🤣
The bloke then gets out of his chair to face it off .
The Man  declares that Lazarus has arisen and the wheelchair yob starts fuming again and goes towards him.
So The Man finally lifts his shirt up in the middle of the concourse and shouts at the bloke that he is an absolute idiot..." I have cancer and am full of shit inside and out"
Wheelchair yob  sat back down and avoided any further contact.
They really did film the wrong footage on the TV 🤣

That's the first thought that would come to mind. A terrible way to treat a patient.

I had a similar thing happen to me a while back; I was sent for a blood test then had a call from the surgery saying the doctor wants me to come in so she could discuss the results with me. Naturally I thought the worst. Got there, all fine. I might have vented my anger.  redface:

Nod is in sombre mood. They are not keen on operating now. Op is VERY high risk and if he survives he will take a year to recover and then have only 4 year life expectancy. Without the op he has 2-3 years.

For those interested he was transferred to an HDU from which, he is delirious, he is now trying to discharge himself from. Two stomas. Two IVs . Unable to walk. Asking for fags and collapso.  noooo:
noooo: noooo:

and yes interested, we've got to know Nod by proxy through your tales over the years.  Wish him well but I suspect it's going to be downhill from here.

Wot he said …..  on the smoking front …when my mother was in a hospice ..there was a lounge area where one of the patients used to come to borrow fags off visitors ….one day a nurse told him to stop smoking …(it was allowed at that time in that room ) ….

He shouted at her …If I can’t smoke when I am dying ..when can I …….a moment that has stuck with me ….

Dawn used to get me to bring wine to her in hospital which she then hid . Her choice as an adult. Christ knows how she got rid of the empties.  rubschin:

Apparently one possible consequence of having your colon removed is getting a nasty hernia.

Nod’s hernia is so bad he has to go in for surgery this week noooo:

I have never understood what a hernia is and I still don’t want to know.
