Guys thank you all so much
I am truly blessed. I'm sure that life still has a few more hurdles for me to overcome but I feel strong and hope to be able to 'rise to the occasion' when they are placed before me. Of course it has been an emotional journey but one where I think I am stronger for the experience.
What I do hope and pray is that this experience can help others to hopefully anticipate and seek help early at any symptoms and give hope to overcome if and when faced with a similar situation.
I was referred to the cancer research website by my nephew, and whilst I tried to avoid utilising Dr Google as much as possible this one was very effective and informative without being too sensational; as was
www.bowelcancer.tv headed up by Lyn Faulds-wood of watchdog fame who went through the same journey.
Cancer is not pleasant, but it's not the killer it once was. Thanks to the huge advances in medical science the early detection in particular and the treatment is so much more effective these days, and every case is individual.
Be healthy, be lucky and be happy!
