Hi everyone


Just an update

All is go for my operation on Tuesday.

I've had all my pre-op tests ........... blood taken, ecg done, and chest x-ray taken. Plus time spent at the Pre-Operation Assessment Clinic, where I talked to a nurse who told me all kinds of things, and also to an anaesthetist.

It seems I might present them with a minor problem ............... the anaesthetist raised his eyebrows when I told him that I seem to be allergic (or at least have a response to) all kinds of tapes, except for the old kind of fabric Elastoplast.

He said they might have a problem, and "you do know don't you that most people have a problem with that Elastoplast?!"


I report at 6:45 am to the Nuclear Medicine department at one hospital to have an injection, then we have to drive across town to the other, smaller hospital where the op will be done. They want me there by 7:30 am.


Just keeping our fingers crossed that the rush hour traffic isn't too bad!




Thank you all for your good wishes.

Hi Bridget

Thank you.

The latest age to have mammograms is usually 70 here in Canada

But as I had a mastectomy in 1995, they give me a mammogram every year, and would not have let me stop until I was physically unable to get to the clinic.


Now, of course, they won't be able to give me any more :-D



We receive info on testing for bowel or colon cancer from about age 60 ................... usually a card to do the fecal occult test on. We seem to do it every 2 years, unless there is a reason to do it more often.


The smear test stops at age 70.

The 20 th of September is tne day Imy eldest son was born soi I will not be able to forget that it will be a special day for you as well. You will be in my prayers and thoughts.

I was surpassed when I was told that after the age of 65 it is not ne essay to have a mammogram, but I would instead receive ingo about bowl Cancer.is this right?

I am glad you had a nice meal out Sylvia and how nice of that chap to offer you a basket of goodies, make sure you take him up on it at some point and maybe he will do something to fund raise for Cancer Research too, like raffle a second basket of nice things.

I think you are being very brave and sensible to do what you are doing, and altho I will probably be on holiday on the day of your op, my late Dad's 101st birthday, I will send lots of positive thoughts for things to go to plan and for you to get well again very quickly.

Thanks for the reminder about mammograms, it's so important for us all to have the checkups offered.
