hello everyone, Sorry that I have not posted much oevr the past four weeks. We went to Victoria for a holiday before I had my operationon Jan29th. So I,m laying here on the couch (because Icannot sit) recovering, I have my my large bowel,rectum and anus removed, Last Thursday I had the staples removed plus got the results....... it appears that removing so much was worthwhile as all the cancer has been removed from my body. It was such great news for all the family. So all I have to do at this stage is let my body heal, I think that I will still go back on Chem for a while as a back up, hey for some reason I do not mind. I hope this message finds everyone well, I best go and catch up on all the posts I have missed out on.   Best Wishes Oldman (Kevin) ... View more
