All clear so far

Hi everyone,

I hope this finds you all well. Thanks for the messages, visits, etc. Some of you know this information already.

As you know from the last update I was going in for an operation on the 21st August to remove a potentially cancerous testicle. The operation went as well as it could have and I made sure I was discharged the next day as they seemed to be faffing around as usual wanting more and more unnecessary blood tests.

I also think they must have rammed a hose pipe down my throat when they put me to sleep, as I woke up feeling like I had chain smoked a pack of Camels.

The good news is that they have found no cancer in that particular area, but had to remove the whole of lefty anyway as it was infected and had suffered quite a lot of damage.

So apart from losing a fairly important body part it seems that for once I don't have another form of cancer which can only be good.

In terms of the spinal tumour the doctors all seemed a little surprised to see me which was an odd feeling. I have defeated most doctor's survival predictions - maybe a few lost money on bets. Anyway I am going for an MRI and see if there is any tumour progression but apart from the usual steriod issues and pressure sores I seem to be okay apart from a total lack of energy.

Take care,

Bruce
