aww rusti I admire your openness,

blokes are not good at talking about their health or concerns even with professionals.

we had a episode with cancer last year....well my partner did but testicular instead he's 42 and quite old to get this type of cancer its gererally found in blokes between 18-37

anyway he'd had a vesetomy years ago and just thought is was a knot but it was swelling in size and then he started getting a shooting pain through it.

gp were not the best and didn't put him though for a prority scan, got the referal changed after a second opinion and me telling all the symtoms not just some of and explaining the increase in pain and frequency.

scan was given in 2 weeks, wrong diagnose given over the PHONE and not by a medical proffesional!!!!

less than a week later an oncology appointment and 6 days later, a half cesarion to have the offening nut removed.

xrays, ct scans and mri's follow quarterly along with blood tests.

thankfully we're clear.

I give you all the best rustic.....you've managed to shrink them this far....keep it going!!
