Life's Roller Coaster

If I'm missing, or not taking messages sorry – I'm more angry about letting my friends down than YOU will ever be at being let down! Unfortunately that is sometimes a side effect of Cancer! Mea Culpa: may I blame being short fused & grumpy on it too! My first symptoms presented in Nov-1998 – Follow The Trail on >DIARY of CANCER< Immediately Below!

Give Hope to others
that after 20 years I am still
fighting The Pernicious Disease
THEY CAN TOO!

 

November 1998I’m damn sure I shouldn’t be peeing claret!

31-Dec-2010 – 07:00hrs. Op on bladder am. By Dr. Raman. Tumour sited on stub of left Ureta entry to bladder – burnt away and captured for biopsy.

13-Jan-2011 – feeling tired all day – C22:15hrs. Bladder discomfort and then frank mixed (no clots) haematoria! – drink plenty and take self to bed – lets hope it stops!

18-Feb-2011 – still no hospital date rang Sue – WOOPS!!! She will sort it and call me am.

10-Feb-2011 – 11:50 Dr. Pink – seems I have CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease!) reading 47, was 54 in 2008!

16-Feb-2011 – 15:05hrs. GWENT – R.L. GOWER – not sure why I’m seeing him! He’s isn’t too clear on my ‘stuff’. Fortunately Janet took over – Gower gave impression he wasn’t too clear on anything much in life!!

17-Feb-2011 – PHONE CALL from Janet – Adam Carter wants a CT Pelvis & abdomen with contrast – Janet off next week phone Radiology direct Wed onwards!

28-Feb-2011 – CALLED Janet – CT Scan booked !

17-Mar-2011 – 11:45hrs. Gwent – Adam CARTER – Lee came with me as I had a feeling this was NOT going to be good news and she deserved to see the pictures, hear the words and ask any questions she wanted asked – it is after all Lee who I am letting down!

WELL I WASN’T WRONG 2 visible tumours on the CT Scan in the lower abdomen – more details later!

My larger tumour is a bit like this (but this is a Squamous Cell Carcinoma on the skin!!) and just over an inch across and is the nearest lymph node to the site of the tumour on the stub of the ureter residual at the bladder from my original radical nephrectomy in September 2001.
