Well you have asked,so here goes,12 months after having the larger paft of my Colon removed along with a 10cm or 4" cancerous tumor,' first tumor removed from colon 17 years ago', I found myself in the 'Cardiac Arrest Unit at Blackpool Victoria Hospital with a cancerous tumor in my left lung. This was removed along with a top lobe of myleft lung,it is now 9 months since and the cancer cells have moved into my right lung nesr the centre of the lung to near the bronchial tubes to operate. on the 28thAugust i had my first dose of chemotherapy,the reaction to the trauma of having picc lines into my arms from the wrist to very near the heart caused a slight stroke that makes typing rather difficult especially capital letters.Yesterday I had anelergect reaction to 'Tagaderm' a skin type dressing plaster that blocked my pores and kicked of blood poisoning,this embarked on a journey at a rate of knots up my arm towards the heart. 1 hour later in Royal Blackburn Hospital They managed to stabalise the situation, thus enabling me to impart this tale of woe to you members who have not yet fallen sleep. After blood test resultsI was allowed to go home at 8pm. Does any member have a better 12 month story or have I won first prize in the lottery of life? (D)
