I have had all my tests and am awaiting an invite from the Colorectal Consultant to tell me one of two possible outcomes. 1. Pallative care. 2. Life extending chemo. I just hope it is the latter, otherwise I will have 6 months to live at the most. With kind regards, Joanne

baddeeds 17-Dec-19, 16:44	I hope that its the latter to. And, I hope that you feel better Joann, as my thoughts and prayers are also with you.

jotheblackqueen 28-Dec-19, 04:02	Update I am writing to let you know that I did receive my first bought of chemotherapy on the 18th December 2019. It seemed to be ok but I was found to have a faulty gene which could have potentially dangerous side effects. I was then admitted to hospital to take corrective medicine to avoid this. I finished the course of this medicine on boxing day. I am still in hospital awaiting a stent operation on the 30th. In the meantime I hope have had a good Xmas and wish you a happy New year. With kind regards. Jo

I was also able to attend a 6 course sit down meal followed by a disco with some friends to see the New Year in. I was very tired though and at times I had to rest on a bed but I did manage to link hands with my husband and the others to dance to Auld Lang Syne. I will have my next bout of modified chemo called TOMOX at 1000hrs tomorrow. I will update you as soon as I can. With kind regards, Joanne

chicoboy 15-Jan-20, 13:21	Cancer tgreatment Dear Joane so very sorry to hear this but remember: there is always hope! when I had the stroke in 2016 in China, could not walk as I was paralyzed from the waist down, today still can't properly walk, then had the eye virus in Australia which rendered my sight as ' legally blind ', no reading or writing any more, I had nothing left but hope for the future and you must do the same trying to stay positive and, do not ask why me? Sincerely gerhard

But I am now trying to get back into work and may undergo an Occupational Health Assessment sometime in March. I have also booked a family holiday sometime in the summer so at least my reasons for game postponement will this time be cheerful ones. I will also be having a CT scan on 28 February 2020 to see if all 4 areas of cancer in my body are shrinking. I am so lucky to be still on this earth and playing chess. With kind regards, Joanne
