living with cancer

This is the one diary I should have kept 14 years ago and one I wish I did not feel the need to keep now. I was diagnosed with bone cancer in 1992 and survived. 2006 and I now have another tumor under investigation: the journey begins again..

Monday 22 September 2008 – Colonoscopy results

The good news is that the Colonoscopy investigations and biopsies found nothing and therefore my stomach is clear of anything too serious. On the down side they are non the wiser what has been causing me the troubles with my back and stomach and even more worrying is the urgency now being given to the Jaundice. It would appear that there is a strong chance the obstruction maybe related to a tumour. It may also be nothing more than a Gallstone but I have to wait now for a CT scan to being the next round of investigations.
I have been prescribed Colestyramine to help alleviate the itching [one of the symptoms of Jaundice] as my back and chest look like a battlefield from all the night time scratching.
If things get any worse the specialist has told me to go straight to A&E and get myself booked in, that is quite disconcerting.
