I did not post last night when I got back from the Isle of Wight because it was late and I had had a very long and traumatic day. So here is an update on my dad following on from my post earlier in the week.........
Dad has his tests yesterday, and unfortunatly it looks like he does indeed have bowel cancer.
They found an area of the bowel that was abnormal with what they believe to be a growth. They have taken biopsys to confirm what the consultant thinks he has found (I am clinging on to the vague hope that he is wrong). From what I understand the biopsy results will confirm if the growth is banign or malignant. But either way he will need surgery.
We wont know until the 17th July what the treatment plan will be, but depending on the results it will be surgery and kemo, or mabey just surgery.....dont know.
Dad took the news very calmly...cool as a cucumber he was. Me on the otherhand, thats a different story. I felt like someone had smashed me over the head with a brick.
Anyway, I am not going to let this get me down. I had plans today to go to a hotel overnight on a work thing and we are having spa treatments and dinner etc and I have decided that I am still going to go. And of course in 3 weeks I am going on holiday which dad has told me I had better go or else!!
Sorry for the depressing post, but I promised to update you all. Have lovely weekends whatever you are doing. I hope the sun is shining.
