The all new "I may have cancer" thread
« on: June 20, 2010, 03:33:12 PM »
Been brooding about this since Friday and now time to share. Had loads of blood tests a while back and one has come back showing signs of cancer. Appointment at local specialist horsepickle (Growler will know where) later this week for scans and suchlike. NO sympathy required. Just part of the wear and tear of life I guess!

That's the second person this weekend.
Hairdresser has prostate type, gland to be removed end of this month.

Early days Nick, a lot can happen.

Not direct personal experience, but lots of friends and relatives, including FIL and currently my dad.

Really sorry to hear that Nick, treatment has come on leaps and bounds in the past few years and I know a few who have benefitted greatly, dad included

Sorry to hear that Nick.

It is an awful worry but sounds like the detection is early.

Don't let it get to you and do what the experts tell you.

We will continue to take the mickey out of you as usual just to make you feel we are not actually being sympathetic.

 happy100  Oh Nick sorry to hear this.  What with everything else it's grim.  We could always get a group of us together to keeeel Mrs Nick.  Take care of yourself you.

Not good  noooo:

I take it it's early signs which means plenty of time to get it sorted.

If I believed it that sort of thing I'd be stroking my lucky rabbits foot on your behalf. But as I don't, trust the doctors.

Sorry to hear this but, it is manageable or so I'm told.

Doing me laps this morning met up with an old chum who's taken to brisk walking too after a fall while jogging. He's had bowel cancer for about three years now I think and it's being managed and seems to be in remission. We discovered we were both in HK at the same time earlier this year and we never knew! He's just turned 78  eeek:

That's a p*sser  matey but you will be OK .... most people are these days.

I wouldn't tell her ~ she has forfeited all rights to know such things.

As for the Boy ~ he is far too bright to be taken in by all that catholic mumbo jumbo for long and will grow out of it. At the moment he likes the smoke and mirrors and of course he realises that acquiescence is easier than confrontation with Mrs Nick.
