Thank you friends, I forgot to mention when I said earlier that I have regular check ups = that is I have a colonoscopy every year and every second year a gastroscopy. My next double is 4th December. I have inherited cancer HNPCC so that is why I have it done every year. No, I really don't mind the taste of the "prep", I hate what it does to you. Don't know about other people, but I don't get any warning when it is going to happen, so this year my doctor has suggested I take my favourite puzzle books and pen and "sit" on the toilet all day. My husband had to have one last year and everything went fine with his treatment and day. Each year I try to convince myself that it is going to go well on my prep day, so here's hoping for this year. The thought of the colonscopy doesn't bother me, as I think that if anything is found, then it would be caught early. By the way, 2 of the boys are home from hospital and doing really well. Their little brother was only 2 and a half pound when born, so he has a bit of weight to put on yet. Fingers crossed he will be home for chistmas. I often look at our daughter and am amazed on how well she has handled the whole thing right from the start of the IVF to our beautiful bundles of joy. Thanks again. Good health to all of you, Best wishes, Bev ... View more

Thanks for your message, Two of the boys are out of humidicribs now. They are two weeks old today, hard to believe that we were waiting at the hospital waiting anxiously for their birth. The smallest one, he was 2lb 8oz unfortunately he has a very bad cleft palate, but that can be corrected with surgery when he is around 6 months old. His name is Mason Gordon - Gordon was my dad's name. Well, if you have ever read my profile you can see that I have a great family history of cancer. My grandfather and father both had bowel cancer and when I had mine they related it to that. I have annual colonoscopy and every second year have a gastroscopy. I am due for both again this December. Last week my mum was told that she might have bowel cancer too, or it could be something else that I have and that is diverticular disease of the bowel. One of mum's sisters also had bowel cancer a couple of years ago as well as her other sister with breast cancer. On dad's side of the family an uncle also had lung cancer and his two children had cervical and pancreatic cancer. Gee, what was my chance of escaping it? I feel that having cancer has made me a better person, more confident in how I face things, though I have always been told that I have a very positive outlook on life. I am going to have my gall bladder out in two weeks. Gee, I am on the organ donor's list for when I pass on, but the way I am going there won't be much left of me to donate. ha ha ha. No, I am not whinging, just feeling like to share with someone. Enjoy your twin grandchildren, do you have any others? We have a grandson and grandaughter from our son, Callum has mild autism with moderate learning and his sister has asperger's (another form of autism). Lovely children. Have a good weekend.

Thank you for your replies. The boys are doing really well. They were transferred on the weekend to our nearest hospital. Our daughter was transferred from there the day before she had the babies, but they didn't have enough humidicribs for her. The biggest baby should be in a normal crib soon. All feeding and breathing well. ... View more

Congratulations. Keep up the good work. ... View more
