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.... |  |

Sorry to hear about your battle with this bloody cancer.
Keep fighting and remember that every cancer is different to every individual.
You deserve a lot of praise in posting this and also urging people to get screened.
Cancer took my mother and almost my dad, but he was being regularly screened and I think that is why he is still here today.
There are so many treatments offered by the medical experts, and an individual sufferers approach as you say with your diet could be very beneficial.
Take good care and I am wishing you all the best wishes and fortune in the world in trying to beat this despite its advanced stage. |  | | |

Had a few recent scares myself over the last 12mths, so echo the OP's message, get yourself screened and tested, the earlier it's detected the better chance of successful treatment. Best wishes mate. |  | | |

in 2008 i learnt that there's a huge incidence of colonic cancer in swansea area, apparently traced back to industrial waste in rivers etc etc. A shock to us as a family |  | | |

Oh for f*cks sake. I'm welling up here Paul. ``i know it's no help, but read staring at the sun, by Irvin Yalom.
I know I wouldn't have the courage to do this, because I'm a coward, but try and role model how to deal with this for your family.
Jesus. I'm so,so sorry. |  |

I've had cancer that metastasised to my lymph nodes and liver (amongst others) and thankfully made it through, so don't give up all hope. Obviously each case is different, but positivity helps, especially those around you. |  |
| Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws. | | Poll: | How do you like your steak? |

Keep strong, keep fighting but above all keep positive.
The very best to you. |  |
