I've just come across this thread for the 1st time. Some tough stuff to read on here, although I've not read it all.    I was diagnosed with terminal/stage 4 bowel cancer around a year ago a

I finished my chemo a few weeks back and have had scans since and went to see my oncologist yesterday. He's telling me he now believes I'm in remission and there's currently no sign of the disease. I'

The Oncologist just called. PSA down to zero. Apart from a blood test every six months that's it.   You're all gonna have to put up with me for a bit longer yet!   Anyway, thoughts

Just got a call from my Mum and I knew what it was before I picked up the phone.

My auntie passed away early hours, sick of this fucking disease. I lost my cousin earlier in the year she was 3 days older than me. 
In the last 3 years  have averaged a funeral every few months. The curse of having a big family. It gets smaller by the year. 

Sorry for your loss mate. May she rest in peace.

True what you say about big families. My uncle by marriage is being treated for Prostate Cancer which has spread to his bones. All while trying to care for his wife, my auntie, who has advanced Alzheimer's.

 

Getting older is truly shit.

She had Alzheimer’s CS as did my uncle who went last summer. My mum and Dad both came from big families and in the last 3 years they’re dropping like flies.

Huge thank you to @Pidge for your generous donation to the fundraiser and to everyone who has donated.

 

A quick update from me, we passed the target of 100 km a couple of days ago but we're continuing our morning and afternoon walks. I've been posting updates on the just giving page.

And here's a shot of Bobby who was named by my daughter after a certain Roberto Firmino.

My Dad is going under sedation this afternoon. In his words he "doesn't want to go on like this any more". Absolutely heartbreaking and what's not helping is I can't get to Devon to see him until Friday. My Mum and sister are with him. The ex is in Tenerife and she's coming home early to look after the dog as I can't take him with me. 

 

The old man is a Birkenhead Evertonian. I told him the other day to take his boots to Manchester on Sunday as he'd probably get a game. Imagine leaving this mortal coil with your team's last result being a 4-0 loss to those bastards.

Thoughts with you bud. If he does go, I hope it's as pain free as possible.
