I had a phone call from Burt in Canada, that's my new relative, cousin to my other half. He's had his other operation for his fourth Aneurysm and all went well, however the bad news is......
Imagine sitting in the consultants room with this man in a white coat when he says, well the good news is...blah blah blah.. but we did however find some..... your hearts misses a beat, your mouth becomes dry... your heart races.... you have a nasty taste in your mouth... then he says... we have discovered cancerous spots on your liver. You world stops there n then. You don't believe what you're hearing. You look at each other as though you've never laid eyes on each other before... The doctor then announces Burt will have to undergo a camera up your back passage.... and one down your throat. I've just had an E mail off Kim his daughter, my new sister... the hospital have confirmed he has a tumour on his Colon along with the one on his liver.....OH SHIT it aint looking good! I haven't told my other half yet as he's gone on a bikers (men only) bikin holiday to Spain, due back next Wednesday, he celebrates his birthday on the Thursday, out for a birthday meal on the Friday night, so by next Saturday when everything has happened and settled, I have to sit him down and break the news to him, his cousin's got cancer....His cousin is more like a second dad to him. I'm not looking forward to it one little bit. I worry about my parents, Dad's been in and out of hospital just lately... he's covered in scars... and now he has to piss into a bag!!! There goes his dignity!! My mother has been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arhtritis apparently she's riddled with it..... can't wait for old age to kick in eh?

(((hugs))) I'm so sorry, Indi.
I'm sending you big hugs... HUGE ones.
Cancer is ugly. Ugly.
There are many many treatment options for Burt - and many more each day... my prayer is he receives the best of all of them. He can beat this... He can.
Happy Birthday to your Bike Ridin' Man!!
I'm sending you more hugs - and even lots of extra ones for you to pass along to your Daddy and Mother.

red.neck chic ~ He was meant to have a camera down his throat but I think they decided not too after finding the secondary tumour, the poor man has enough to contend with I think.... he's come through so much and to have this inflicted upon his soul and family... life just aint kind. Thank you
