Doctors Appointments

This morning we heard that my first appointment with Charles Wilson, the oncologist (chemo wizard) is to be on Friday 19 June at 5 pm. We should then learn the type and duration of my chemo.

Also I have a follow up appointment with Richard Miller (the cancer colon specialist who operated on me) this Thursday 11 June at 5.15 pm. This will be an opportunity to find out when I am allowed to drive again and lift weights (eg a set of golf clubs).

The District Nurse came today to massage my tummy. I am still leaking but the "hole" has now transformed into a 30 mm long gorge about 4 mm wide and 7 mm deep - much easier to tend and treat. There is no infection - just a slow healing process.

Anna found a website called www.cancerbuddiesnetwork.org which I have now signed up for. An online support group for cancer sufferers and carers - it looks a really good site,

  1. We are so glad to hear that you have been out and about and eating scones and pleased that the infection as gone at last. What a shame the hole has become a gorge.It must be so painful and uncomfortable. We will be thinking of you when you go for your appointments with the specialist and the chemo wizard. Love from the Bods.
