Been MIA
on: February 06, 2020, 10:50:48 AM
So thought I'd take a little time to explain where I've been. Last November I was diagnosed with having a ewings sarcoma with in my right side rib cage. It was a complete shock as I was not very asymptomatic, felt fit,strong and healthy.  Unfortunately this combined with other various things cause myself and my partner to separate. As it was her house I was forced to move in with family. Not ideal and still awaiting my own place. I started chemotherapy last december which has took the wind out of my sails a bit. The consultant estimates a 18 month period where I will be unable to work.  The prison service are starting to be difficult and have sent me to occupational health to have me assessed to see If I am fit enough to be able to carry out desk duties.  As I have a stay in hospital every 2 weeks they decided this would not be in my best interests as well as being extremely tired and spending a majority of my time in bed. Since then it has spread to my left side rib cage and right hip. Looking at the first lot of surgery in April. The majority of my stuff is still in my exes garage including everything sharp and shiny with the exception of a ukpk and gerber dime. 

This was not meant as a sob story and I dont want anyone feeling sorry for me as on a whole there is alot of people that is worse off than myself.

Please, if you feel unwell do not put off going to the doctors and getting checked out as I would of normally done. Also love and cherish every moment you can with loved ones, friends and family as you really do not know what is around the corner.

Oh man. Sorry for all your troubles MrMckay. Sending thoughts and good vibes your way and keeping fingers crossed for you.

Going through a surprise separation myself so I can't imagine how you're coping with the illness as well. Stay strong and feel free to vent via pm dude.  :tu:

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. A bit of Ginger tea will help settle the stomach after the chemo treatments.
