Glad to hear your doing okay JJJ and Poita.
I have a chronic bowel disease (ulcerative colitis). While not cancerous, it has higher risk so have to keep an eye on it.

Excellent news JJJ and Peter!
This thread is also a timely reminder to us all.
As we all pass through life, we hear these reminders in conversations
from others who have had cancer or known someone who has had cancer -
Health wise, if one suspects something or if a family member, work colleague or
friend suggests "you ought to get that checked", then do it now. Not next month,
not next year, not when you "aren't so busy".
It might simply be something subtle, like the water-works playing up a little.
The state of the art is such that if a cancer is specific, then there is often a specific
targeted treatment and the prognosis is more likely to be good.
Ignore it, give it time to spread and let it become non-specific and the arsenal of
targeted therapies may no longer be an option and the chance of a good prognosis
diminishes.
A colleague who specializes in the diagnosis of leukemia once told me if
it ever gets to the point where one needs to go under the knife, the last words to
your surgeon before they put you under should be, "Get all of it".

Well done and congratulations to all you survivors. xo
Kevin, UC .... that's rotten bad luck mate.  There's an app for that, though you probably already have it. I'll pm it to you.

just an extra thing nettie, my wife and i were married in 1989 since going out together since we were 15 and 16 years old and when we (finally) got married my father in law had just been diagnosed with bowel cancer only the day before our wedding!
the poor ******* looked like "death warmed up" but he didnt let on for fear of spoiling the day god bless him!
he is me best mate and and we get along famously
he has just been "probed" last friday and not a pollip in sight still....doesnt need to be seen for five years
he smokes like a chimney, and has done since he was six years old without a break (stubborn big dubliner) and to top it all off has had a five way heart bypass!!! and at 73 my beautiful wife calls him "dr who" for his amazing regenerative powers.

I hope you're travelling ok Pete.
It changes you eh. And not just the physical changes that have been forced upon us.
The door has been opened, and you've looked your own mortality square in the eye. You can't go back again.
And as much as others would like to try to understand, they can't.
