Holy s**t. I totally missed this.zaltys7 wrote:Thanks to everyone that sent good vibes in my direction
Got out of hospital last night, about 6:00 pm, a day earlier than expected.
Although the people there where fantastic the overall experience was an absolute nightmare.
For those that dont know, a tumour in the bladder has to be removed by going in through the penis. - The idea of this may freek some of you out, (mostly the blokes I would imagine ) and then burning it or scraping it away. You then wake up with a cathater in which drains the blood and urine out and then they flush it out with chemotherapy.
In my case however they took the cathater out before they flushed it, by mistake and had to put another one in
Curently feel like s**t but am happy in the knowledge that i've got at least 3 weeks off work to surf heartland and read and buy lots of new books and comics online
I will know within the next two or three weeks how bad the tumour was and whether I have to undergo an extended course of chemo.
The most disturbing thing about the whole experience was that I was in a ward full of old men - whom this cancer affects most, and I'm not yet thirty - as as someone on here said the desease is completley indiscriminate
Thanks again for all your kindness - especialy Mr Blast

Sorry to hear that - I hope the treatments available work quickly and effectively for her.SINsister wrote:Well, I got the bad news Tuesday morning that my mom's cancer has indeed returned. I dunno quite what to do or think at this point...

I know how good your 'somethings' can make a ill man feel _emma__emma_ wrote:Seems he hasn't logged in since June 9th. I think I'll send him a postcard or something.
Well, a PM I sent him on June 16th is still in my outbox - which means it hasn't been read. Besides, he promissed to send me a CD (which was his own idea, not something I asked him for), and I still haven't got it.James Blast wrote:after my recent scirmish, I know it takes a few beers to get back into the swing of things.
