I remember the time you first told me you had the dreaded disease. My brother contracted it just a few months after you. Although he responded well initially, it eventually got him. Therefore I certainly wish that you will succeed. You've kept it at bay just over 2 years I believe, I think you can continue down this path.
Cheers romans.
The op is a 5 hour job I am told. They slit me and peel me like a banana, to remove all the lymph nodes.
Only be in hospital 3 or 4 days, but will be laid up solid for two months apparently.
Then they decide if chemo is needed. (not funny that)
It has come from the melonama on my head, that needed 4 ops to remove. My GP ****ed up big time with his failure to diagnose for two years. Basie scoffed me for pursuing a law suit with this. I'd like to ram those words down his gob.
I have been CT scanned top to bottom. This is the only tumor they have found, so are optimistic.
Anyway I can't snuff it. I always said I wanted to see England win a world cup before I give up. I reckon I've got 80 odd years yet then, lol
