Hi All,

As some of you already know I had a phone call yesterday summoning me to the hospital today to see the my delightful Bowel Consultant.

He had the results of my liver biopsy which showed the secondary cancer in the liver is not from the breast or from the bowel as far as they can tell but.....drum roll.....are you ready for this cos I wasn't...a third cancer....yes folks I did say
third cancer. This blighter is called Carcinoid and is a tumour of the neuroendoctrine system which is a network of glands that produce particular hormones and send them into the bloodstream to affect the function of different organs of the body. Get that? This sod is so rare that only 1200 of us a year out of 60 million get it. Aren't I the lucky one?

On the bright side I am very 'interesting' and lots of medical men want a part of me lol (but which part I'm not sure). I have been asked if I would be willing to answer questions and take part in various blood tests for different hospitals and, of course, I agreed (after all this is my 15 minutes of fame).

I will be having another colonoscopy either next week or the week after so they can 'investigate' the cancer which showed up on the PET scan but wasn't found on the first colonoscopy and after that who the heck knows. I've given up trying to second guess what my treatment will be and so have the experts for the time being. My appointment at Barts on Monday as been cancelled due to unforeseen complications lolol.

Watch this space for what happens next:)))

Keep the faith.

I thought we disgussed this. Can you please refuse to leave their office till they have given you some good news....since I heard about your breast cancer I have been lost for words. I really dont know what to say.?

So may I ask you a couple of questions. ?

How the ruddy ell do you manage to stay so strong and positive?

Can you not get a second opionion ?

Can you not get the DR sacked ?

May god watch over you Jean xxxx

Jean....


(((hugs)))

and positive thoughts!

Not content with looking up every orifice, a guinea-pig too ! How dare they say youre not interesting enough, what does a woman have to get to grab their attention?

You are absolutely amazing going through all those tests and then the waiting for the results must have been slow torture. I salute your great courage as Im sure I would not have taken such news on the chin.

Keep fighting,

Aw come on, admit it, you're going for some kind of world record, hun. In all seriousness though, I hope they can help you and that the St.Barts appointment is merely delayed and not cancelled altogether. Perhaps if studying your case is interesting to you they may be able to get you in some trials or something or involved with novel (not novel as in funny but novel as in new and different) treatments.

God bless you and stay strong and positive, your great approach and attitude are your strongest weapons in the fight.

Thinking of you Jean.
May you keep on being so positive and upbeat and beat this B*****d disease!

Mau (((xxx)))

Fame at last always knew you were a star.

So you are proof that things come in threes.

Love your attitude it will help you get through all thats to come and just think of all those dishy drs after you but if they a prodding and poking you make sure they warm their hands up.

take care, wish there was more I could do for you.

Jean,
I am sure your positive attitude will keep you going.
Good luck with the treatment(when you have it),and maybe it might be a good thing it isn't connected to the breast or bowel so they can zap it easier!
Keep fighting.
