Great news Matty, remember when I told you about my cousin? Just the same! She had restructure at the time and 10 years later is absolutly fine, keeping fingers crossed for you. I think they called it..pre cancerous cells?

Oh Matty, that is great news. An op will be tough, but so good to know they can isolate it. Sending positive vibes your way - you'll be great whatever route you decide. Got a big smile on here.
and Lyn - take care of yourself as well as others. you couldn't be doing any more. And your Mum (and Dad) will know that, which is all that really matters.
Matty I have a friend who went thro exactly the same as you this tIme last year. She recovered very quickly and no more treatment was required. She didn't go for reconstruction as she said her page 3 days were over and she needed her arm back to full use for her work. She is cancer free and the picture of health.
take heart, this too will pass ( my grannies words!)

Best wishes Matty - so glad the horrible 'not knowing' & 'wondering what will happen' phase is over and I'm sure you'll make the right decision tomorrow.
I know the next few weeks won't be much fun but it sounds as though your prognosis is excellent and you'll be out enjoying your garden again as normal next summer.
Good luck & hope all goes well for you x.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
On Saturday, Dad was refusing food and drink. Sunday Morning,mum was rung, he had refused all tablets and was agitated. We all turned up at the hospital. Dad was increasingly agitated and hallucinating.I asked the nurse for something to calm him down, she is not allowed. So I asked for a doctor to see him. Junior doctor came, said yes, hes agitated, I said why cant he have some midazolam to calm him, she's only a locum, not allowed to make a decision like that. Finally we got a consultant from A and E to come up and review him. We had a big discussion about end of life care, and finally got him some pain relief and calmed down. Mum stayed all night with my sister. Shift change this morning, other sister stayed, I took mum home for shower and change. We went back and at 2pm a porter arrived to take dad for a scan.!!! ordered a week ago. We sent him away, and then a new consultant came and tried to tell us that we were being premature with end of life care, that all his problems were treatable. As Dad has been asleep all day, very calm, with no medication since 9 am, we said we wanted him to be comfortable and not in pain, and further surgery, procedures etc were pointless, as he now has liver failure, heart failure and pancreas has shut down. He checked his chest which was clear, and said he was fine, and would review it tomorrow. This was at 5pm. Dad stopped breathing at 6pm, very peacefully. We left the hospital at 7.30, still with no death certificate as no doctor had yet been to check him. (Two nurses agreed he had gone). We have to go back tomorrow for the death certificate.

Wish it was pre-cancerous but alas no, just it's very early stage so easily isolated

All the scans and biopsys told it was cancer, it wasnt until after the op they said she wouldnt need chemo or radiotherapy.
Try to stay positive, it wont beat you, dont let it! We are all with you. Xx

He would have been 85 tomorrow.
Oh Fidget, how very very sad. My heart goes out to you and your family. Will be thinking of you all in the coming days and months.
