Bought a caravan. Going to renovate it. Therapy keep me busy for a while. Just a word to update you on health problems. Vivid test Tuesday. Camera up the jaksi Friday, camera in the stomach next Wednesday. Have to isolate the hole time. They sent me a copy of the Letter for my doctor. It said suspected cancer referral ! They could have waited until I have the procedure's !!

We are going to need pictures!! Oh yes! What a Wonderful idea. I hope it keeps you busy for a long long long time. I’m not kidding about the pictures though. I wanna see!

On the other.. well, it’s a ‘referral for suspected.’ So don’t borrow trouble until you own it.

Blessings to all.

Good luck with the tests Ray !hopefully it’s just a good old dose of hemahroids ….nice caravan ..p.s. had the jacksi one recently …at least nowadays they let you wear surgical undies with a Velcro flap at the back so you don’t have to go to the canteen in the hospital gown with your ass hanging out of the back.

One day at a time gerrerd. "Suspicion" doesn't necessarily mean cancer"Doctors will always take precautions with tests. (it keeps their liability insurance down)

Good Luck with your upcoming tests. Now is the time to read over all the positive posts

you gave us. Keeping you in my thoughts. Please keep us updated :) xx

P.S. Beautiful caravan....

My brother also has suspected colon cancer and did his colonoscopy and it was just polyps and they removed them and all was good, no cancer.

Sorry about all that that you need to go though. Doctors can be quite insensitive on forms; I've noticed it before. They tend to be pessimistic in writing them.

The reality is often that there is no problem, or even only a minor problem, so try not to worry until it's over with. Don't torture yourself with this, it isn't worth it, will make you more tense, and spoil your enjoyment of your van.

Photos please!

Cheers, Midori

Hi Gerrard, I’ve always enjoyed your positive posts so wanted to send positivity back 😁. Hope your tests go well, and don’t worry it might not be anything that drastic and if it is there’s so much drs can do so you can maintain the life you have . Congrats on the caravan purchase. Me personally I LOVE a project !!! It’s my therapy. It makes me happy to turn something old or broken into something great. Just pulled out all the cabinetry under my kitchen sink , soggy and rotten . Replaced it all , cleaned out all the threads in the plumbing , all back together now , and like brand new now. People wonder how I can do this , just comes naturally, not hard for me . I looove it . Anyway wish you all the very best gerrard and have fun renovating that caravan 😁🤗
