    I'm alive !!

    Howdy Strangers Just thought I'd pop in and quickly update those of you who had expressed you wanted to be "kept updated" .. Unfortunately I've been pretty slack and I do apologise So the FANTASTIC news is I kicked cancers butt and don't need to have chemo or even radiation as the 2 surgeries I had have completely removed the tumor & surrounding tissue which overall was a fair chunk of meat cut out still pretty sore but normal pain relieve is keeping it in check these days and hopefully I'll get feeling back in the skin at one end of scar - the doctors can't guarantee how the nerves will react.. So it's really a maybe or maybe not - either way the loss of feeling and my awesome scar a small price to pay (Brad reckons I should tell people I got into a knife fight with some cow who was hitting on him at the pub! LMFAO)

    This pic is my first scar Vs the second - both taken shortly after each surgery ... When they took the margin tissue they basically cut a leaf shape out around the original scar and cut it out

    And this is my scar as of last weekend - it's healing really well - just the meat and nerves underneath that cause minor discomfort these days

    The back half of the scar is numb for about 2cm either side ...

    Recently also has full body CT scans and no signs of any other tumors. It was a Malignant Peripheral Nerve sheath tumor which generally only occurs in people who suffer from neurofibromatosis - a rate disease causing non malignant tumors all over the body (generally hidden within the body)
