Thanks for reply. I am happy to hear you sounding so positive, surgery and chemo is not easy. But I'm with you, if we are given an opportunity for life after disease, go for it with both hands. All the very best for your continued improvement! Widget

Hi Stitch Great news! I am glad to hear you are recovering, although slowly. Surgery really knocks you about more than you think. I hope you continue to feel better every day. I will let you know when I am having my op, sounds like probably August. Take care. Widget

Hi Thanks for your reply. It is good to know you were happy with the Hospital. I had surgery in March and also got a cyst. I hope I do not get one this time! Great info about Bezzina House, I did wonder about that. What happened after your surgery? When did you come back to WA and did they give you the pathology results? Do you go back to 'watch and wait' scans? Sorry for all the questions! Widget

Hi periMeso How is your recovery so far? I am going over in a couple of weeks to have an angio ct and my surgery scheduled if they go ahead. How long did you go over to NSW for? Did you take anyone with you? I hope you are feeling stronger every day. Widget

Hi Silly I am sorry that there are obvious signs of cancer for you. The insidious nature of this disease has no sense of vanity. I cannot say anything that will change things but I can sincerely offer my support though. I too hope for the best on Friday, my internal radar knows that the news will not be good. I am prepared. Let's all have a great day today! Widget xx

Hi Stitch I am Widget and I am also going to be having the peritonectomy op soon. We should compare notes! I found a great blog just recently by a guy who had the surgery and is two years cancer free. His blog is oncoloblogy.blogspot.com. This guys doctor must be amazing, the doctor has dictated his whole operation to be recorded and given Dan access to the records. Very graphic but if you want to know what happens this is it. Hope to talk to you soon Widget (Juanita) xx

Thank you Alison and Silly for your replies. Some days are easier than others for everyone. I had my PET scan this morning and go in for a Laparoscopy this Friday. I am very hopeful that I will only need another colon re-section. Otherwise I will have to have a peritonectomy. The necessity of this surgery I have no problem with, my problem is always with the pain on other people's faces. I hate cancer mostly because of that. Kind regards and warm wishes to you all xx

Hi all Just wanted to start a new thread. I would like talk to anyone and everyone about my own, and others, journey with this disgraceful disease. I was diagnosed December 2009, out of the blue basically. I have been shocked to the core by the removal of my identity by metastatic disease. I can empathise so completely now with the 'dead man walking' idea. No job, no life, just medical intervention (much welcomed, of course) to extend my existence. Jesus the things that come with the diagnosis could fill a few pages here. I have recently started blogging, as most cancer patients know there is nothing like it for therapy. Mine is walswords.blogspot.com. It helps. A lot. I send my love and warm wishes to everyone touched by this hideous situation. Let's stick together! Love to all xx
