Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Hi Ffosse,
Although, l haven’t posted before on this thread, doesn’t mean that l am not thinking or caring about you.

Even though, l don’t know you personally. I really do think about you and feel for you. l have even said a prayer that you will find the strength and determination to fight this...xx

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Thanks Art,

It’s a tumour around my spinal chord, they have me on steroids to try and reduce it, then they want to do a surgical biopsy to see if it is Hodgkins Lymphoma again (apparently it’s very rare for it to make it to the spinal cord) but it could be a different type of cancer). Then I’ll be looking at radiotherapy and possibly more chemo. I’m trying not to get down but 18 months after my first cancer I thought it had gone and so had the doctors.

Still, fish and chips with peas, apple pie for lunch, and then I think I’ll m going to listen to some tunes.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

No word yet about the biopsy, that’s the next important thing.
My lunch was nice, but I’m bored with reading and listening to music. There is a massive TV room, but it’s freezing in there.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Stop worrying Dreamy, that is the problem really, waiting to hear what is going to happen.
I can keep you company on this thread for a while.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

I’d like that.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

What are your favourite films Dreamy?

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Glengarry Glen Ross (which originally a play).
Beyond that I like Dramas, some Action movies, anything with Al Pacino or Robert De Niro in it.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

The Greats

I am just going to cook dinner Dreamy.
I will be back.

What are the best places you have ever visited?

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Salisbury, England.

Can a mod of please move this to the health section please and perhaps change the title?

I’ve been told I’m having spinal surgery tomorrow mid morning to take a biopsy of the tumour and the small risks involved - I can just hope that I am ok and wake up fine and the Haemotology and neurology teams can move on from there. No liquid or food from midnight for me.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray

Do you want me to ask them for you?
You can PM the guides, look at the very bottom and click on the name and PM your request Dreamy.

I like all those places, and I am not far from Salisbury.
Tell me about your time in Spain.
