Thanks all for the good wishes.

Just home now from the Brisbane hospital. So I survived the operation.

The prognosis long term is poor but chemo apparently extends that out. I am just pretty sore but my mental state is good.

I am trying to get back to a normal, for me, life as I dont want to be treated as an invalid.

So I guess i will be participating in the forums for a little while yet.

So nice to hear from you @kenny66
I'm so glad the operation went to plan.
Have you started chemo yet?

Looking forward to having you around again.

Congradulations @kenny66 on making it through the operation, please get well soon, i have been  thinking about you often, i am sorry about the long term prognosis, but please don't let that get you down, sometimes the doctors can not predict the longer term prognosis with great accuracy.

I really hope to see you around the forums.

Best wishes my friend.

Hi

I havent started chemo yet because I dont think I would survive it. I dropped about 15kg in 5 weeks now.

I meet the oncology team next Monday but I have been told that chemo cant start until I heal because the chemo knocks your immune system.

I also need to bulk up because the chemo makes you lose further weight. So I think that is about 4-6 weeks away.

Fortunately I am up and about except walking makes me hurt quite a bit.

I have got  good attitude with it though.

I hope you're doing something nice for yourself.. maybe some movies or a TV series you can get stuck into?

I love your attitude Kenny66 It always shine through in everything you say.
