[gazd]

well went back to specilist in inverness and didnt get very good news turns out i have a rare strain of cancer and they cannot cure it ,but they gave me this tablet i take every morning .This tablet is supposed to slow things down ,he hopes if it works could get a couple of years maybe up to 5 years they are not sure as everybody is differnt and who knows might get longer anyway they might find something else in this time .I am not dissapointed or disheartend as always knew it would go either way and had accepted . i will stay positive will live my life and enjoy it so went out to mot the mex and tax tomorrow couldnt ask for better therapy

Ian your so right you must be strong and positive and enjoy every moment with family friends hobbies, as no one knows what's around the corner in life, get that mex out and go sideways mate and enjoy. shocked when I read this post, but your strong you can beat this.

Just read this thread... My Dad had the same news a few years back... he got all his affairs in order and enjoyed every single day. His main fear was leaving my mum alone. You're a brave man for sharing your news, I wish you, your family and friends all the best... cancer is so terrible.

my mum has been in a similar situation, taking a tablet everyday to keep her rare cancer at bay, 7 years now and still going strong, you wouldnt know anything was wrong if you met her.

So chin up and enjoy every minute mate.

Hi Iain, I try to be optimistic about such things, and my fingers are firmly crossed that they find a cure for you while you are on these tablets! I always listen out for any discoveries when cancer is being mentioned, there have been some amazing ones over recent years, so who knows?

Glad you enjoyed your day out in the RS and I hope to read that you've been out in it again shortly!

Regards, Tim

I wish you good health and a speedy recovery from your treatment. We are ALL with you. Many of my friends and family have successfully beaten the big "C" and are still with us enjoying life to the full.

I hope you get out to enjoy your Mex, I'm sure it will bring a smile to your face, and forget your health troubles.

Good luck and best wishes.

oh well went for a ct scan last wed was at doc on monday and not really the news i was after the tablet am on isnt controlling the tumors as it should in fact another pile of them blighters have appeared ,which isnt helping the pain which is starting to be a pain in the ass but we will have to see if there is a plan B in 2 weeks when i see my doc again.Its amazing how quickly those tumors grow i donnt know how many i have now must be well in the teens ,someone up ther must have it in for me .Time to break out the mex again for some therapy .The most annoying thing about this saga is that i have spent my life working hard ,ate all the right stuff ie fat free etc liked a beer but to much never smoked kept fit always looked after myself and still it counts for nowt strange how some things work out
