Reflux

Hope all go's well for Keith's son and of course for Jim also.
I have had a minor problem for years with acid getting back into my stomach. The camera found a small tear , but the doctors said an operation to close it would be worse than the symptoms.
I had to give up the booze as every time I drank alcohol I was sick. Still miss going for a pint and chat it is not the same drinking orange juice. Just one tablet every morning keeps the acid down.
Good luck.

Hi Jim the inside of my body is probably healthier now than it has been for a great many years. As with most seamen it has taken a lot of abuse with the booze and fags , I wouldn't like to know how much money I have spent drinking anything that came in a bottle , glass or can while smoking like a chimney , but I enjoyed it all especially the company of fellow seamen. Now I am trying to repair some of the damage , a healthy diet , no junk food from McDonalds or Col. Sanders fried chicken , while keeping body and mind active. Living like a repentant monk is not as much fun as the old days. The insides are taken care of now to work on the outside which will be a lot harder.

jim its one of the worst days of your life when told you have cancer but its not like years ago they told you and that was it?? the treatment today is amazing after my op they thought they found cancer again and put the camera down inflated the lung and inspected the area lucky it was nothing to worry about as said you will have your bad days but knowing the cancer crews working for you. you have got a good fighting chance I was in with men a lot older than me they are as well as can be expected I see them at clinic never give up mate.. jp
