BANG BANG
Lung surgery.Lung surgery.Lung surgery.Lung surgery.
BANG
Lung surgery.
There you are, pottering along thinking that you might be one of the very few with advanced bowel cancer who can keep going, and
BANG BANG BANG ...
you have a routine scan and you find there is fresh growth on your lung.
BANG BANG
It hurts a bit. This banging up against reality. Letting go of the illusion that the cancer would slide off into the night and leave us alone.
BANG BANG
That ain't the way it works, sweet-heart, and no-one ever told me it was .. I just wanted that to be the way and
BANG BANG
REALITY BITES ...
But .. painful, aching, banging up aginst reality aside .... ..... this has been a great 18months out of treatment. The anti-cancer programme is undoubtedly working for me. I have not had to go back for chemotherapy this year, I have learnt to live with the on going impact of previous treatments .... and the lung tumour I have is all alone, and it is small and it is slow growing. This is all defined as VERY GOOD by my oncologosit.
BANG BANG
smacked up against the reality of the continuum of what can be considered good < ----- > bad for people like me! This is the good end of it!
I decided that I need to start blogging again ...
I really far preferred the 18 months off, but hey ho .. here we go again.
Lung surgery.
It does not feel like a particularly Happy New Year ... I liked the old one much better and I am going to lie low during all the New Year razamataz .... but hope to get over this lung surgery in good order and continue with my tralalalalalal carefree-blogfree existance SOON.

Hi Suze, So sorry to hear that things have taken a bit of a blip. I used to read your blog daily before and I can not tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me. You are always so so positive and always appear to look on the bright side of things. I don't know you apart from your posts on the GB website but I have always admired how you face the hurdles that life has thrown at you.
Just wanted you to know that you and your partner are in my thoughts as you face this next challenge. I know you have the fight to take this on and get back on your feet again soon. Kate xx
Should have looked for older but recent posts. Sorry you have that new nasty visitor, have they discussed surgery v RFA with you at all? My friend Bec had it twice on her liver and not at all convinced its a lung option....actually i'm aguirre it isn't but too damn lazy to check, forgive me! Your fitness and general otherwise good health, diet, will mean a much faster recovery than most cancer free people. My first squatter was spotted but felt wasn't concrete at that time to mention 2 years ago now with 12 rounds of irene only and still my lungs are pretty good, its my liver that's the pain. I hope you can take encouragement from that too.
