No sympathy please guys just prayers.
I didn't want to put this on as a thread but I have been a little grumpy of late due to the news that two new shadows have been found in Mr O's lungs.
He's been in the x ray department all day and now due to the area of pain, they believe the cancer may have returned in his bones which is very common after advanced prostate cancer.
The next two weeks he will be in and out of various hospital departments under-going more tests.
He is not at all well with severe chest pains and back pain.... Fatigue plays another large part.
I will try to visit FG as much as usual but please bear with me as I've been a little lax in answering messages and being my usual jolly self.
Thanks all xxx

Thank you so much for all your kind wishes. I am very touched by your messages.
Even that granite rock gmc posted .... Blimey !!
Well, we've been here before 3 years ago and they were very skillfull at getting all the cancer out that time. It had grown out of the prostate into the bladder, bowel, euretha etc so he was lucky to have one marvellous surgeon. They always gave him a very high risk of it returning as it did last year but was contained, as they can not get cell level out. We have a marvellous Doctor and the Oncology Departemnt in Bristol just can not be faulted. I also get counselling if I want It which I think is a good thing. The Oscars are very good at fighting and when we've finished fighting, we fight some more.
Thank you again friends. x

PS:Found this poem and wanted to share:
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Pete has been in hospital all day having more X rays and scans. Now, it is the waiting game again. He finds the fatigue the worst. The Oncology department is marvellous and doing all they can.
