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 ....

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...
