NEO doesn't have bowel cancer, he has non-Hodgkins Lymphoma which is causing some problems with his bowels as the tumours are shrinking after chemo-therapy. He has completed another session of chemotherapy but is being kept in hospital under observation as he is suffering some complications at present. I spoke to him a couple of hours ago and he remains resolutely positive in his outlook and is determined to be back at work before the year's end.
Cancers have some strange ways of manifesting themselves and NEO originally returned to UK suffering a really painful back problems which was initially mis-diagnosed as a due to a crushed nerve root. It took some weeks before the tumours were discovered and treatment for his real ailment could begin.
He really appreciates everyone's good wishes and hopes to be back in circulation, slimmer, balder but the same old NEO as always
