Going into hospital 12/5/14

[Bill Cameron]

well ship mates, just a wee note to let you know I will be off line for a short time (I hope) .
Was diagnosed with stomach cancer 9 weeks ago, since then its been like a helter skelter ride. I cannot fault the Cancer Team in the Royal Edinburgh Infirmary, I have been getting consutlations with Consultants, Specialist nurses, Oncolagists and others on a weekly basis. Good news is its is operabale, I will lose 2/3rds of my stomach, the consultants say you can live with out a stomach.
Surprisingly I am not in a lot of pain, just some bad indegestion attacks, I always assumed when the C word was mentioned there would always be extreme pain, this is not the case with me thankfully.
I should be in hospital for 15 days or so all going well 5 of those will be in the HDU, not looking forward to that.
Have had great support from my 2 sons and their familys, and from many many pals from Facebook.

Catch you all soon.

Good Luck with the op Bill,
I know you will be OK after.
I had a life saving operation last year on Pancreas and Liver with only four days to live, Now I am fit and healthy again, I dont drink now is all and I dont even miss my nightly whisky. So even if the whisky is out after, it will be worth it.
So all the best with it, I am sure those pretty Nurses will look after you OK .
Cheers
Brian.
