Have nt posted on here for a while...though I still help mod the site in the background.
The reason being I was diagnosed on 23rd June with cancer after a routine blood test. It was a bombshell to say the least.
It was discovered I had a large tumour of the colon...6.5cm
Upon further investigation the final results are in . Unfortunately, it has spread to the lymph nodes and metastasised onto the liver. I have a tennis ball,golf ball and two marble sized tumours of the liver.All this must have happened over a long period without me being aware of it.
So I am at stage 4 advanced cancer...having said that I still have no symptoms and am feeling mostly well and still active....even though the prognosis is not good...for most people with liver tumours it is about 6 to 9 months from being diagnosed.
I am trying many different therapies at the moment including radically changing my diet to mainly vegan and drinking freshly prepared fruit and vegetable juices every hour or so with tons of water and supplements to flush everything out....many have had great success with alternative treatments ...as I said I still feel ok and exercise regularly no problem..Pen y fan mountain being a favourite.
Still got options open due to start chemo therapy soon then maybe surgery if they can shrink the tumour size....but 3 major operations and months of chemo and radiation is a big ask...
The main reason for writing this is get yourself screened...especially over 50s even over 40s these days...insist on a colonoscopy as this kind of cancer is on the increase for both men and women.
You will not get any symptoms most of the time in many cancers..until it s too late..thats why its called the silent killer.If its caught in the early stages you have a great chance of a cure...once it spreads to other parts of the body it is much more difficult. 1 in 3 of us will be affected during our lifetimes with the figure predicted to be 1 in 2 in a few years...
You have been warned...
Up the Swans and good luck to you all for the future.... |  |

So gutting to read your post.
I know what you're going through.
3 years ago I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma - a cancer that affects blood, bone marrow, etc. Following surgery and a stem cell transplant I am now in partial remission.
Different cancer I know but my point is that 5 years ago myeloma, like many cancers, was a death sentence. Now, thanks to incredible medical advances it isn't.
Very very best wishes to you while you go through your treatment. You're doing the right thing by being as healthy as possible.
Stay strong and stay positive. |  | | |

My 80 year old father recently had the same diagnosis he was operated on fairly quickly and had a very large tumour removed. He has been informed that it is in his lymph nodes and due to other health issues will not receive any further treatment. But his General Heath has improved since the tumour was removed.
Good luck Bony and keep fighting. |  |

Lord Bony, We have never met and possibly the only thing we have in common is that we both follow the Swans When I read your post my mind went back to when I was 66
I too was diagnosed with Cancer and when told it leaves you with mixed emotions. I Had Radical surgery and the Consultant told me he would get me to 70. Three years later had 35 sessions of Radio Therapy which left me in a bit of a mess I am now on 3 monthly courses of injections On Sep 8 I will be 82 and still following the Swans
I know every situation is different but the one thing you must have is a Positive outlook and a firm belief in your Surgeon and live life to the full. My thoughts are with you in this look forward to reading your posts on Planet Swans for a long time yet. | | | |
