Thanks,Bob the Doc. Am currently in the Marsden right now and the op went well, although I developed biliary periotonitis a week later.....meant a 12 day stay ITU.
Apologies that one of the correspondents sent a pm to me, which came up as an email alert with a link but am quite unable to see the pm.
The op really was a gruelling affair but at least I am now able to totter around. Am truly horrified at how weak I have become in these last 2 weeks but am regaining strength, albeit slowly, every day. Each day the pros outweigh the cons.
My surgeon did tell me that, far from being benign, there was a 2 in 3 chance of it being malignant but these results will takena while. All is not neccessarily ship-shape anddandy yet, but I remain optimistic......
