My last day at work was Wednesday 26th. It was an normal day at the mill as they say until I got my first card from staff at work this choked me up {But I managed to hold back the tears} by the time I was going home I had been gived more cards and lots of hugs and hand shakes, nice words of encouragement and well wishes. Drive home was again time to reflect on what was about to happen on the 29th.....
Thursday 28th March I had to start drinking the dreaded powder drink... First drink was at 8am yummy yummy in my tummy {More like yak not this sh#t again}.... 😣😣
Other than no food or drink after 8pm that was it for the day my bags packed for my shot vacation in the Stoke Royal university hospital {Caz again got it all packed and ready to go on the Friday}.
Early bed not that I could sleep because I was a wee nervous and excited at the same time {Excited because the big C will hopefully be removed from my body}. 🤞💪

Well where do I start... I'm a 54 year old man type 2 Diabetic but in general good health. I'm stubborn when it come to going to the doctors..

Few months later (because I'm a man and never follow medical issues up) my wind became wet with splatters of oxygenated blood again I buried my head in the sand..  Carole again made me do to the doctors. Who did another internal and found nothing. But said '' I'm fast tracking you for CANCER'' I'm sat in my bed at the Royal Stoke University Hospital with my RECTAL CANCER removed. This is m...

To say I could not sleep was an understatement..... I watched the clock tick by. Tick bloody tock .. Up at 6am showered makes sure I'm looking the best for the doctor and his team. We got to the hospital at 7am .... Keen as mustard as my appointment was 8am! Just after 8am I was called in by a nurse who took my blood readings and more questions... Then I'm transfered to another room where I had a canulars fitted (took 3 trys as i was dehydrated from the powder drink). The next hour my life was about to change for ever.... I was taken to the theater {this was going to be show stopper}. Being a man I went for Sadation... I'll not bore you with the camera going up the back door..... But there he was on the monitor 'Terrytumour' Looking like an angry kid who can't have any sweets!! The words echoed through my head.. Sorry David you have a malignant rectal tumour... What was I going to tell Caz ....
