Yesterday, I waited all day for the phone to ring for the results of my PET scan ........................and waited, it was a long day.............I phoned the thoracic nurse specialist that had been assigned to me ...............answer phone......I phoned my oncologist...............answer phone.......eventually around 4.30pm I decided to take "Jack" our Labrador out for a walk, I took my mobile just in case.............nobody phoned. Whilst I was out, my oncologist had phoned and left a message to call straight back. In our country we call that sods law otherwise known as Murphy's law.
Good news the PET Scan only revealed the tumour in my lung and nothing else phew !! now we know what we are dealing with its a referral back to Mr Waller who performed my original chest operation. I have had a few questions about the latest tumour in my lung. Yes, it is still Bowel Cancer that has travelled to the lungs. I will be asking the obvious question on my next consultation, "How much more of my lung can be removed"? unlike the liver the lung does not regenerate. I have already had five tumours removed a year ago. The other day someone said to me "Its lucky its bowel cancer and not lung cancer that lung cancer is terrible"!!! ........MMMmmmmmmmmmm

It was a great relief to get that phone call from the oncologist yesterday, the whole weekend in the back of our minds hung the thought of what the PET scan would reveal. It is really difficult to stay positive, today on the way to Norfolk (I do a lot of driving in my job) I was saying things like....positive thoughts only, a half full glass and not a half empty glass.....release the anger!!!!
I must admit I did feel calmer, so now I just need to continue floating those thoughts through my mind a bit more often.

Hello Old Chap, we are here and thinking of you all.
Ernie and Julie Sweeney are coming to lunch tomorrow, give us a ring about 2pm if you like.
When all else fails, Jesus could be the answer to your expectations, delivering your life to Him and He will do .... not only live here but take care to have an eternal life with Deus.
O man without a spiritual life not is happy, get to know more of the kingdom and its owner JESUS.
Hug
