Good to hear you got through the surgery, bet it's all rather sore right now.
Sorry, but not surprised, to that the cancer was confirmed.
Good luck with the Chemo, it's tough, but I'm sure you'll get through it. 90% of recovery is attitude so stay positive.

Best Wishes to you Liam.
Where you are is not a nice place to be, from your own perspective, and that of you family around you. I have been in the position of the family
member with my mother so you and your family have my best wishes for the future.
Be very positive, you can and will beat this and be back on the road soon.

Bloody impressed that you're online from your bed, Liam!
That kind of attitude will see you through and you know that you have lots of people on here routing for you.

Good luck! As you can see, there's a few survivors on here and you'll meet many more as time goes on. Stay positive as best you can. I was
colon cancer but it sounds like the recovery will be similar. I was hobbling like an old woman for almost a month after the 8 inch hole they sliced in
me.

Liam,
I'm not going to bore you with the details but wife went through exactly the same some time ago, a rough ride but came out the other side, we
had highs, we had lows, but one thing for sure it made us realise what we have is so precious and we both came out of it better people.
Good luck, remember the whole locost fraternity is backing you all the way.
