More thanks and update on Sue

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

Thank you to Heidi and to others who have kindly e-mailed me about

Jim's prostate cancer. I will keep you posted after the next tests

in a couple of weeks. You can imagine how I am feeling just now.

I have just spoken to Sue. She is recovering well from her surgery

last Thursday. They found a knot in the bowel sticking to the Roux-

en-Y join. This was causing the pain spasms and sickness. They also

found two other adhesions which were not actually causing a problem.

They have sorted everything and put some sort of gel in which is to

try to stop sticking now. Sue is feeling so much better and is pain-

free. Of course, she is still on the post-op pain management scheme.

I'm hoping to see her tomorrow before we go to Madrid on Tuesday.

The following week should see Jim's tests, hopefully. I don't think

I could wait any longer. Everything will move very quickly now and

treatment will follow. Hopefully this cancer will prove to be

treatable. Either way, I have to try to be strong but I don't think

I'm very good at it. It's much worse than thinking about my own

illness.

Warm regards and thanks to all,

Fliss (UK)
