Well hello folks been a while , not posted for a while but here we go . As some of you know ive been having. A punch up with bowel cancer that moved into the liver . Had 1st op in oct 17 only to find it had travelled to liver and 2nd op in april to remove 25% of liver and the surgery itself went really well and things started to look positive for a change. 3 weeks ago it all went south , the cancer was back in less than 10 weeks afyer the op . Ive known from the start that it was going to come back, (luckily ive got consultant who understands my mindset and doesnt sugar coat things) but i at least thought possibly get over xmas but no . Basically its now terminal and ive been given a conditional 2/3 yrs. Conditional on the new line of palliative chemo holding it back for 3 months , if it does , then its another 3 months and monitoring for a year and chemo again .if it dont then have to stop chemo and onto tabs and we are into months . Cant believe how it has all gone so wrong in less than a year but i guess thsts how it goes . Struggled to get my head back on straight for a while and lost the plot fir bit but head back where should be and im getting myself right with the world again . Ive got my " it aint how hard you can hit but how hard you can get hit and keep going forward " mode switched on , so ill dance the dance etc and i aint going quietly , thr devil aint met me yet so he might toss me back lol . But will keep in touch not running at moment but managing to walk . On the upside of all this im down to 15st and gained a inch on inside leg , no longer a 29 but a 30 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Week 9 and beyond cream crackered update
😢. Hopefully you’ll be on years and not months. Enjoy every single hour of every single day. Dance that dance and kick some butts.
You are doing the right thing by trying to be positive I have to do the same thing though I have a GBM4 but am doing fairly well had the op in December 17 and have two months left of my Chemo to take and then see what happens but I started walking and this weekend did 14km which took me 2hrs 23 minutes so keep going and hopefully you will feel okay.

Hey doubletap. It was good of you to share your personal journey. It does help us to reflect on what is really important, as we do often get caught up on things that take away all the joy of just being in the present moment and loving it. Wishing you an abundance of the greatest present moments!! ❤️❤️❤️
I was just having a browse through old posts, and wanted to send warm thoughts to you again
