Hi Budgie,   Ha Ha ...thanks for your reply. The 'bleep' was unintentional. It was a glitch in the software program which has now been  corrected. As you can now see I have Anal Cancer. It's considered to be at an early stage so I am hopeful of a good result. However the side effects both short and long term apparently are life changing.

Wishing you all the best and may your good health continue:) ... View more
