We left Australia after only 18 months our dream had come to an abrupt end. I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. After a lengthy operation, convalescence and a three month tour of Oz I returned to the UK. The cancer later spread to my lungs. The removal of tumours from both lungs and six months of Chemotherapy did not prevent it from returning to my left lung. After lengthy operations and medication, I now live in a cycle of CT and MRI Scans........ I now know what the waiting game is.......

Blog 184 Monday 10th March 2014
Well yet another setback. On my last blog post I gave the good news of the "All Clear" but my Oncologist had noticed an unusual looking mark on my back. This mark I hasten to add was of concern to my wife Wendy for some time, but us guys think we know the best don't we? .............I have an appointment this Friday for a skin cancer specialist to verify one way or the other what this unusual mark is ..... I'm certain it cannot be linked to bowel cancer... Maybe all those years under the South African and Australian sun has taken its toll on my skin we shall see. My oncologist and my GP did not give any reassurance when I asked if it was skin cancer.....another fast track referral to be seen within a week, great service by the NHS but crap deal. I'm now seriously considering whether I want any further ops or procedures but I still cling on to Hope .......some don't have that luxury, I will be there!
