Out of the frying pan - but in the deep fat fryer now......

[Steve-329]

Those of you that read my last post are aware that I was seeing a neurologist last Monday week after suffering a bad back after a lumbar puncture in January. That January admission to hospital was bad enough having been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease to add to my COPD and an un-diagnosed gallstones being discovered.

Things have now turned really serious as the neurologist admitted me straight to hospital (for a week) and lo and behold they now find I have cancer of the spine and some nodules on my lung. I have had my pre-radiotherapy scan today for the spine and will start a course next week.

That grim reaper is certainly hunting me down of late but he better be aware I am the Army hide and seek champion! The morphine is quite pleasant however. Will keep you up too date as we go on.

What a calamitous succession of events and diseases. So sorry. I love your attitude. But even the toughest nut is allowed to shout and rage and complain about the bad hand you have been dealt. Take time and look after yourself, in every way.

I'm so sorry to hear of the horrendous nightmare you've been going through Steve, it must have been traumatic.

This is one of those situations where I honestly don't know what to say except, your wonderfully, positive attitude is astounding and that I hope you get much more time than they estimated. Take good care of yourself. xx

Oh my goodness Steve, what a frightening time for you. Cancer must be the last straw. Glad the morphine is helping. Nobody needs to suffer nowadays, There is very good palliative care available. I do hope you have time to get some pleasure from life. xxx
