Popular Post MikeO Posted October 13, 2014 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Brief update; saw my consultant today and all still clear . Thought, as my initial confirmed diagnosis was 8th October last year, that I'd beaten the one year survival stats so was all ready for a party but apparently they count that from the end of treatment, so I won't be a year clear until the end of Feb . Never mind, all positive. This time last year every appointment I had the news got worse, now it gets better every time! Still can't eat properly, still got no strength or stamina but minor irritations in the grand scheme of things. Huge thanks for all the support I've had on here, means a lot.

Hafnia Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Great news Mike, keep plugging away. Get as many "easy" calories down you as you can. Scrambled eggs with full fat cream and cheese, trifles, ice cream. All the sort of things I have to try and use willpower to avoid!

rubecula Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Great news Mike, really pleased for you. Rubes, hope everything goes OK, will be rooting for you. Thanks Johnh Had the surgery a fortnight ago. Went fairly well. May need another op though as they had to induce a hernia to complete the job, which may need an op to fix. Won't know until the Consultant sees me. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Got my "year clear" from the consultant today . Still another four years to go before they call me "cured" but a bit of a landmark so I thought I'd mention it. Won't update this thread any more (except maybe in Feb 2019 to say I've got there) because it feels a bit self indulgent now; but again, thanks for all the kind words over the last year or so. This time last year I was so bad I was sleeping through Everton matches; shame the cancer couldn't have waited a year come to think of it .

johnh Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Had my CT scan on 2nd January. Had not had any results so phoned the Hospital two weeks ago, they said they would investigate. Heard nothing. Phoned again today and they said they would look into it and get back to me. The Consultant phoned me, most apologetic but said the scans were clear. Obviously very relieved with the news but a bit miffed it took so long. rubecula and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
