I would just like to thank all those who have thought of me and said some prayers for me during my recent surgery.
The op was done and i`m on the road to recovery.Home again now and trying to settle back into the normal routine.
I will undoubtably catch up with you all in time .I have appreciated your support and encouragement.

I had been wondering about this one a lot, I am glad to hear that you are fit and back to normal. What does the doctor says , how long before you are totally free and normal. Has it left any scars or its completely gone. Did they do grafting too? I msorry if I sound curious but I was really hoping that you will be all okay and could leave this monor inconvenience back in past here only and move on with no future returns of this dreaded disease.

Thank you Mansha i still have a way to go before i`m back to normal .The surgeon gave me a report that they had removed the cancer but there was bad news also that this wasn`t a good cancer to have and that it will return so looks as though i will be having more work done down the track .But the next time it won`t be so extensive as he is going to keep and eye on it not the local dr here .
I had skin graft and cartliage grafts done they were taken from behind my ear and am finding the donor site much more painful than i ever thought it would .
Hopefully when i see him next there will be minimal scaring it`s really looking good now but still a long way to go .I was so shocked when i first saw it but now am getting use to it .As for now i just want to get on with life and will deal with it when it comes back there is no use worring about it for now . Will catch up again soon thanyou agin for all your kind and encouraging words

Well it is good to hear that you are back home again hope ... and bad that you had a bad cancer ... seeing a specialist is much better than a local doctor .. the local one might be fine for scratches and bruises ... but generally not good enough for something serious like you have.
You are sounding more positive now ... and that is a bonus .. although no doubt you still have bad times .. remember that sometimes there are good times as well. At least they did catch the cancer before it got too far .. and even if it does come back again .. this time you will all be prepared and ready for it.
Take it easy ... do no more than your body tells you that you can do .. that means you don't rush around trying to be everything to everyone .. or do everything for the whole family etc. It takes time to recover from surgery .. not to mention the shock of knowing what you actually had .. and how it looked.
Hopefully by now some of the transfer site pain will have disappeared .. or be getting a lot less. Good luck to you hope.

Hello Oldboy good to see you too i have missed everyone so much and just have not had the time to come in here that much .Life is certainly busy for me and i don`t get time to sit and just do nothing not with my family .
It`s good the cancer is gone for now it`s such a relief believe me and i have a good surgeon who will keep an eye on it for me so hopefully when it does come back it won`t be as bad as this one .
I still have a problem with the donor site it`s not healing as fast as i would like and still quite a lot of pain but it`s getting there just needs a bit more time.
The day i was travelling back home my youngest decided he needed a job so he went down and applied had and interview and was put to work that night which is great he has plenty of get up and go and it`s been giving him something worth while to fill in his spare time (if you know what i mean with a 15 yr old )
Will have to go for now will drop in again soon .Take care and keep safe.

Lovemycats it`s great to be back even though i don`t find much time to get in here that often i do enjoy it when i can .
Hubby got another job here one that pays well(eventhough not as well as the one over there ) but the new one here wasn`t as demanding and he is happy here so it`s great and really i`m so relieved .
The op went well and life is back to normal ( as normal as my life will ever be ).
So wonderful to be here with friends again i have missed everyone .
Take care and keep safe .
