Wow, I haven’t been on here to post anything in ages, life just got in the way I know.

I’ve also spent the last couple of years in and out of hospital for one medical condition or another. I have a long list. It seems you hit a certain age and all these medical conditions start appearing.

Anyway, my latest one is bowel cancer which is still under investigation to see what is going on and how to treat it. The doctor’s have mentioned chemo as the best course of action.

It all came up as since being in hospital for another list of medical conditions that needed attention, that hospital stay impacted on the foods I could eat and what I could drink. Reflux and vomiting, even dry vomiting is a thing when foods affect you.

The foods I couldn’t eat and the things I couldn’t drink over the last year have gotten longer.

I went to my doctor about it as he suspected gallbladder issues and referred me for a full fasting blood test and an fasting ultrasound. Did both and the ultrasounds taken showed something suspicious with my liver… 2 lesions.

The next thing, he referred me for is a CT scan to be done… that didn’t happen as I was stupid and did a u-turn way too fast on my mobility scooter and came off, injuring my knees, legs, butt and head. Note to self… don’t be stupid and do u-turns slowly in future.

With the bruised legs, my lymphoedema in my lower legs decided to blow my legs up and then the leaky wounds showed up. I attempted to tend to the wounds myself under the instructions from my doctor but when my right leg became too heavy and I couldn’t walk properly, I knew it was time to go to hospital.

At the hospital, they did their own blood tests, read my medical file as it’s all on computer these days and did their own ultrasounds and CT scan and came up with the same results the original ultrasounds did, 2 lesions on the liver and the CT scan showed a mass in my lower bowel. The original cancer site and the 2 lesions on the liver is where the cancer has spread to.

This will become a blog about my cancer journey. This is new. I’m still processing it all and the doctor’s here in hospital are still investigating the cancer and the best way to deal with it as with all my current health issues, I’m compromised.

I’ve had my cry as everything is slowly sinking in. This is big news. Life changing stuff going on here.

Until next time
