Thanks for the best wishes

On another topic I mentioned that I have had two major operations in the past year.
I would just like to thank all of those who wished me well.
I had two tumours removed one from my lower spine last February and the other
from my lung last March. I have to have 6 monthly check ups which include a MRI scan and CT scan.
My next check up is in March and I have to go to the Royal Marsden hospital in London.
It was a bit of a shock when they discovered the tumour on my lower spine in November 2010 and to discover the second one in December 2010 was even a bigger shock.
I am ok at the moment and fingers crossed I hope it stays that way.
It has really changed the way I think about life and I am going to make sure I enjoy life.
The worst aspect about this was my wife was pregnant during this but now we have a beautiful boy and I feel lucky to have him.
Anyway thanks for all the best wishes and hope for a better 2012.

Hope all goes well mate, it cant have been easy!

So how did you get to the point of the scans? were you experiencing back pain ect?

Congrats on the Baby too

Hey Mate, really hoping for you this will stay away for good! Please keep us up to date on this, okay?

That tumour on the lower spine, was it like in the film 50/50?

All the best for the future with the family.

Just want to echo what everyone else has said. Can't imagine how difficult it is to go through something like this. Let's hope things clear up for you soon and you can get on with your life.

Pete.

Hope its all ok from now on in.

Fingers crossed that's the end of the bad luck now, good luck for the scan next month!

Only just spotted this thread, Im sorry to hear the bad run of luck you have had dude.

Best wishes for the future and congrats on your latest addition!

Best wishes mate, hope you make a full recovery.

Thanks once again for all your kind messages.
Its has been a tough time and I must admit I am not looking forward to having the tests next
month.
I will keep you up to date with the results.

Darren, what an ordeal you've all been through! Sincere best wishes and we'll all keep our fingers crossed for you and your family next month.
Congratulations on the birth of your little one.

My thoughts are with you Darren, its not an easy thing to face & yes I speak from experience so have an idea of just how traumatic the last year must have been for you, I will be keeping everything crossed for a clear sweep of tests next month for you buddy.

& on the flip side, you must be over the moon - a son!, congratulations - now get him some SW toys & make another future collector for the ranks!
