About Me

My photo
I'm Carole, living in London, happily married and mum to two amazing boys.I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Rectal Cancer in April 2010. Surgery took place in November 2010 and I now have a permanent colostomy...Spinal mets were then diagnosed in October 2011...In January 2012 I was told of further spread to the hip area (multiple lesions)..My life expectancy is now 6-9 months. Walk alongside me on the last part of my experience with this..

Results ....still partial so far....

I got my email this afternoon as promised by my colorectal nurse.

Not got too much to say this evening apart from:

  • The multi disciplinary team have decided that they now need to do an MRI of the pelvic region of my body.
  • The colorectal nurse has today started the ball rolling with this and I should get an appointment within the next few days.
  • She will then be organising an appointment for me to go back into clinic to meet with my surgeon once they have collected all results together.

Watch this space :-)

** Added Wednesday, 6th July....

    Hmm, pelvic area. Well that's fairly specific and rules in and rules out particular organs/areas.

    Yes I will be watching this space - very closely. Thinking of you Carole and sending hugs ((o))

    PS I got a little toy yellow VW Bettle in the post today, from you know who, lol!

    Hi Fiona,

    Yep, pretty specific and *not* exactly where I was expecting there to be any issues.

    Great pressie, he's really thoughtful and I just love them both. Really great people :-)

    HUGE hugs. Thinking of you. Fingers crossed that Saturday's scan is a waste of time and there's nothing to see.

    Love ya. Even when you're beating me at Melody Mahjong.

    Chez, thank you as always....xx

    Lou, I can only dream about beating you at Melody Mahjong :-))
    As you say, let's just hope it's all a big waste of time & then I can get back to playing games and maybe even getting *somewhere* near your latest score

    Hey Carol,

    Good to hear from you :) Thanks for the positivity vibes...I'm hoping you're starting to feel a little better now?

    Will check your blog in a bit

    Hugs back to you and a reminder that you will feel tired for a good while yet - slowly slowly - just remember that
