Probably Shitaki, based on the location. Sorry I mean Shiitake. What was I thinking.

Must admit hospitals are depressing but do an amazing job. Without going into too much detail they entered my body in 5 different locations around my abdomen, cut out a large section of colon (if my colon was a clock they took out about 3 to 5 o'clock) and a triangular piece of 'stomach' (don't exactly know what it is) inwards which contains all the blood vessels and associated lymph nodes and remove it from one of the orifices they created. They then go to the top bit of colon that remains and do a lot of work to release the colon to drop down, install an inverted 'mushroom' shaped piece in the end of the main colon, then insert a robot up my back passage which locates the 'mushroom' pulls the colon together and staples from the inside before being removed! Amazing and incredible. Geniuses if you ask me. And in answer Neil, other than bruising and pain (controlled!) I'm feeling absolutely fine   So sorry to hear your bad news. I've known three people in recent years, who’ve have had similar operations. In each case the outlook was different, the first was no further treatment needed. The second just needed chemo, and the third chemo and radiotherapy and another op. A few years down the line and all three are fine, other than varying degrees of regular checkups. Sounds like you have the right attitude:)

Sounds like you have the right attitude:) Thanks Mike, good to hear and my best wishes to your three friends. I should find out in 2/3 weeks what the diagnosis and prognosis is. I've been told no radio, just maybe chemo, but I guess if it rears its ugly head somewhere else in the future they can zap it with radio? In the meantime I'm having a word with my white blood cells and re-training them to be on high alert

WE are all keeping our 'Mog Keys' crossed for you

Firstly Boshly, I hope that you are progressing well and that the prognosis will be good.
Having just received the bowel screening result this morning and it coming back as abnormal, I was in a state of shock and panic. Having read this post and all the comments, it has made me feel a whole lot better. So its off to the hospital in Exeter on Tuesday for the briefing and I expect the examination will be pretty quick after that. Whatever the outcome you have made me feel more at ease and less nervous. Thanks TM.

As a friend, what I have really respected about Andy's approach is his unwillingness to have people use sayings such as 'the C word' or other silly things that all us adults seem so quick to adopt when we are uttering the word cancer. Andy will sum it up better but on one of our many talks, he said to me, 'if something good can come from this, it will be that I want people to get themselves checked and also, say the word cancer, rather than avoid it.' The gist was that if you can't even say the word, how are you going to begin to get your head around preemptive screening. Top man, top attitude. NGUNS
