Chemo tomorrow, a whole rack of tests next week including one with a very big needle. Good news is a lovely new curry shop has opened nearby.

Re: Bowel cancer any tips?
Good luck. You may have mentioned this before – forgive me I've forgotten – how long is the chemo? Do you have many months left?
Great, mate. Love a ruby.

Why you shouldn't have to memorise my medical history. It's all good.

Re: Bowel cancer any tips?
Met my Dr today, my scans show that all my cancer cells have stopped metabolising - essentially they've gone dormant.
I still have tumour markers very high which means if I stop chemo the cancer will wake up and get to work.
I'm going to have another six rounds of chemo then they'll scan again. I'll be spending the weekend having chemo in the hospital because the plastic port they use to give me the chemo leaked and gave me a chemical burn which means they can't use it so I have to have three day chemo in the hospital.
Pretty positive.
