It is good to be home from hospital and recovering from my surgery. I was very lucky that my surgeon was able to perform the surgery laproscopically and all I have is 5 small cuts.
The results however, are not quite as good. He found a large Metastatic Colon Cancer tumour. It is good in that it wasn't a new form of cancer (ovarian), but not good in that it was part of the original colon cancer that survived the chemotherapy and grew very quickly.
So now, I need to heal from the surgery and see my oncologist on Monday. I must admit I hate the fact that I have a 'my oncologist' - who wants one of those? Still, he is very good and I know that he will look after me.
I am dreading facing chemotherapy again. I was never sick from my cancer, but really sick from my chemotherapy and this is a path I don't want to walk down again.
I am also finding that my head is struggling with the idea that I have now had two bouts of cancer in just 12 months and the journey ahead is going to be challenging.
So here is the medical update: Time for me to retire to bed for a little rest and then I will be up and ready to go again soon.

Chemo therapy is what it is...horrible. All we can do is wish that it does the trick and isn't as bad as last time.
