Good News

[Shadowcaster]

Well the results have come back and it's looks like I'm a lucky chap. I had two tumours removed from my bladder both of which are a low risk of recurring, and yesterday I had the Sigmoidoscopy where they removed a polyps which looked to be benign. I have to have regular check-ups but it's a small price to pay. It's been a worrying time for us but I'm glad I had the tests and can now look forward again, I feel that a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. If it has taught me anything, it's that if your are in any doubt about getting a check up, just do it, the earlier it's looked at the better.

Now off to take the pup for a gently stroll and try to get fitter.

Cheers
Rich

That's great news Rich! Very glad to hear you're in good health.

We've been having a bit of a time in our hut too. My Mrs. went in for her annual Mammogram and they found a small questionable mass in a location that's very prone to developing cancer.
Her subsequent biopsy confirmed that it's precancerous. She has an appointment with a surgeon this coming week to discuss further procedures.
On a positive note the doctor said there wasn't any blood vessels in the mass nor was it attached to any milk glands so the chance of it spreading is next to nil.

The doctor also said that a standard Mammogram probably wouldn't have detected the mass because it is rather small but they had given her a 3D Mammogram which is much better at detecting abnormalities. So gents tell your Mrs if they have the option of getting a 3D vs a standard Mammogram tell them to go for the 3D. It's a much more detailed examination.

Hi, that is great news and I am glad for you. A good healthy diet should hopefully prevent any more issues for you. I wish you the best of health from now on!
