I've debated long and hard about posting this but I decided it was worth it as we've seen many threads and posts decrying the NHS and I wanted to redress the balance.
On 12 December my wife went for a routine examination which revealed "something nasty" in her bowel. No symptoms at all, simply a follow up from an unrelated problem from about a month before. Biopsies were taken and we were called back a few days before Christmas to have it confirmed that she has bowel cancer. She had a scan a few days after Christmas to check the cancer hadn't spread (thankfully it hadn't) and that was confirmed last Monday. Yesterday she had the operation to remove the tumour. She's now recovering in Morriston Hospital.
So from initial suspicion of something sinister on 12 December to probably life saving operation five weeks later on 20 January. We haven't had to worry about money and the care at every stage so far has been superb.
I realise that we can all only speak from our personal experiences and that not everyone's will mirror our own. But there is ours. Thank you, NHS. |  |

Brilliant News, best news I've heard in a while  |
I agree. Fantastic. So pleased for Mrs C.
And a timely boost Clasie, ta. A close friend is unfortunately having a mastectomy at this very moment. 32 years old with two young children. This disease is a total bastard. |  |

Feels a bit egomaniacal bumping this but I’ve had a few and I’m happy and emotional so want to share. Don’t judge me. The wife had a follow up colonoscopy today. All clear, not even so much as a polyp, which is really unusual for someone with her history. Back in January 2019 for another CT scan and another colonoscopy after that. In July last year we didn’t expect her to see 2018. We’ve been bricking it all week so I can’t even begin to express how relieved we are. I thought this morning was never going to end waiting for her to come out of the treatment room. We’ll never be complacent that she’s “beaten” it. Cancer just doesn’t work like that. We’ll always always worry. But with every clear test the almost constant knot in my stomach that hasn’t gone away since December 2016 eases slightly. Only slightly.
For those of you still fighting this thing, keep at it. If you know or love someone with it, just support them. It’s all you can do and it’s f*cking horrendous watching someone you love suffer.
Apologies again for the self indulgence. Love to all. | |

You know when we talk about heroes, and we’ve all done it, being footballers, celebrities and the like. Well she’s mine. We’ve had our difficulties over the years, show me a couple that hasn’t. But she is utterly remarkable and has faced the sh*t thrown at her with far more bravery than I’ve been able to muster half the time.
F*ck I’m soppy tonight. I should log off soon.  | |

Very good news for you and S. I'm so pleased for her.
It's given me great encouragement reading this,statistically I should not even be here now with my advanced cancer but the NHS has kept me alive.
Have had some brilliant results myself this week with a real cure now possible after operations now in site.
God bless anyone going through this curse at the moment and well done to you survivors. |  |

Great news mate!
I’ve been worried all week due to Mrs Ebo seeing the neurosurgeon at Heath hospital. She’s having an op in April/May to shift a blood vessel that is pressing on a nerve in her head. It does come with a very small risk in that if the nerve that is located next to the nerve being operated on is disturbed, then she could damage her hearing. It’s a 3/4 hour op and she will have a small scar behind her ear - a small price to pay to regain quality of life as neuralgia pain is awful. | |

The surgeons and facilities at the Heath hospital are exemplary they literally saved my life last November after the tumour in my colon burst open I'm sure she's in the very best of hands at the University Hospital of Wales | |
