Sorry for not getting back to yo...Hello Anonymous,<br /> Sorry for not getting back to you sooner but its been quite a busy weekend with mountains to climb!<br /> Firstly thank you for taking the time to make a comment and offer your support. It means so much every time someone takes the time to write a comment and we have had some really good conversations with fellow cancer sufferers offering support and advice. Like you its not only PMP sufferers who have made comments and got something from the blog and it thrills me to think that the site is helping people in some way.<br /> Your comment regarding having a project to focus on is absolutely right. Like most cancer sufferers there isnt a day that goes by where I dont think about it in some way. But by doing the Snowdon challenge, writing the blog and being an active member of the Christies forum I can channel those thoughts into something positive that hopefully benifits others in some way instead of dwelling on things. <br /> I'm also very lucky to have come through this so well. As you say a healthy lifestyle and mind is a huge benifit and I was lucky enough to have adopted the healthy regime some years ago so it put me in the best place possible when things did go wrong. Now I'm getting back to full fitness again I am planning on getting back into caving and climbing again as well as mulling over idea's for next years fundraiser!<br /><br /> Peace and good health,<br /><br /> Dave<br /><br /> Hello Paul and Anne, Great to hear from you both! Fantastic news on the CT scan results. I have to wait until October before I have the worry of going through that and what the results might say.....fingers crossed. <br /> I have accepted your freind request on Facebook so you'll be able to see the early photo's from our fundraiser for Basingstoke. I have a very busy few weeks ahead now gathering all the photos and writing a full report on the blog site and of course starting to collect all the sponsorship money. We think we might just hit the £5k target!<br /> Speak soon,<br /> Peace and good helth to you all,<br /><br />DaveDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08987847582949613057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339253742486294847.post-33746736941679449232010-08-20T15:14:51.325-07:002010-08-20T15:14:51.325-07:00good luck Dave and happy to hear you are recoverin...good luck Dave and happy to hear you are recovering and starting you runs, i am still getting there but much much better, today got a good ct scan report, keep it up regards Paul & Anne from Sunny MaltaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339253742486294847.post-42251606731593567652010-08-19T07:33:18.052-07:002010-08-19T07:33:18.052-07:00Second attempt at sending a message - I am a color...Second attempt at sending a message - I am a colorectal cancer sufferer of 2 years. No matter what the cancer diagnosis, and I have not heard of your type, the initial shock is no less traumatic. However in your case of thinking you only had appendicitis the shock must have been even more powerful. I can tell you are a positive person and it continues to amaze me how cancer sufferers develop some powerful inner strength that pulls them through the worst times. After 2 years following a CT scan July I am clear and I have been told the positivity and developing a healthier lifestyle have contributed to this. However one thing a cancer sufferer does is realise how short life can be and I must admit I crammed an amazing amount of my "wish list" into one year!! I think your Snowden Challenge (mine was Race for life in the first year!!) is wonderful and one of the most important things after the big "C" is to have a project and something to focus on, it is so important. I also have children and grandchildren and they have probably been my biggest incentive and forced me into exercising. Your whole perspective on life changes and adopting a healthier lifestyle is something a lot of us tend to do now. I am sure your venture will be a success and I admire your drive and bravery. We are very lucky in Bristol to have such good colorectal surgeons, mine being Dr. Dixon of Frenchay. People should not be afraid to go to the doctor about these things. I did the wrong thing and kept putting it off but having now seen what goes on it is not so horrendous to get these check-ups and well worth it in the end. I wish you good health for the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339253742486294847.post-58257077009077478902010-08-19T04:13:16.222-07:002010-08-19T04:13:16.222-07:00Hi Anon no.2!
