Not sure if any heard at the end of the comms at the last home game but my Bruv did a bit of a dedication to our sister Rosemarie.
Shes currently in surgery to have a tumour removed from her bowel. They’re hopeful they can get it out and repair. It hasn’t spread outside her bowel but obviously until they know what they’re dealing with, we won’t know what she will need going forward.
I feel completely useless over here in Eire but there’s little I can do even if I were right there with her.
Sending love to all who have suffered this bastard cancer. You are all fecking heroes ♥️12 -
Thinking of you , Big Bro & family at this concerning time.

Thoughts are with you and your family @KBslittlesis and @KillersBeard4

Keeping fingers crossed that the surgery goes well, and that any further treatment needed is not too rough on her. Hopefully the fact it's not spread outside the bowel means that's more likely.3

Sending love and best wishes to your sister @KBslittlesis and @KillersBeard.2

Wonderful news for her, and all that love and care for her.palarsehater said:So after a round of pet/mri scans got the following update All good they will see her in 6 months for examination and mri, pet scan is clear, cyst has shrunk surgeon’s won’t operate due to the tenderness of the area, and she’s got a catch up back here in 4 months, also kidney stent will be removed if that all comes back ok she will just have to have yearly scans and check ups.
cant believe im writing this as I really didn’t expect this thankyou to all on Charltonlife for your support.0 -
wishing all the KBfamily the best outcome for Rosemarie and fortitude for the family.3

Thanks everyone.
She's out of surgery & it seems all went very well.
I'm sure you will have heard my sigh of relief from Blighty!!!!!
I really appreciate the love, I really do ❤️10 -
My husband started an intensive course of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in November for lung cancer. It was very tough for him, but a recent scan showed that the tumour in his lung has shrunk and the nearby lymph nodes have calmed down.
His Oncologist is very pleased so far. He has recommended a course of immunotherapy, every 4 weeks for a year. It's as good news as we could have hoped for when he was diagnosed.

@KBslittlesis and @ME14addick, sounds like it’s a good day for both of you. Long may it continue.3

Cancer is horrible but treatments are getting better all the time. The Oncology department at Maidstone hospital is amazing. The staff are wonderful, even though it is so busy.6

Much love and strength to you and your family @KBslittlesis ❤️🙏1

Best wishes to all2

Had the same op 18 months ago. The surgery team will test the lymph nodes to confirm it hasn't spread and after that it is just a blood test to ensure it hasn't come back. They also worry until the first bowel movement about whether or not the super glue on the cut and shut has worked. The only main scar should be below the bikini line and only visible if your sister wears a thong during her pole dancing routine. All joking aside I wish your sister luck and hope everything turns out ok.KBslittlesis said:Not sure if any heard at the end of the comms at the last home game but my Bruv did a bit of a dedication to our sister Rosemarie.

I’m back in the PRU hospital having felt really unwell Monday onwards and finally calling 111 on Tuesday night. Following that my gp called me back yesterday morning to recommend I attend A&E in light of my recent medical history (kidney removal because of cancer in Feb 25 and heart failure last June). She gave me a referral letter to take in which helped the process. After extensive blood tests (7) and a CT scan of my abdomen it was decided to admit me. My remaining kidney was malfunctioning badly and my white blood cell count was abnormally high. I am now on a ward and had a biopsy of bone marrow from my hip bone this afternoon which is not a pleasant experience. A consultant haematologist saw me shortly after that and although the full result of the biopsy won’t be available for about a week, he has seen enough from the other tests to start me on chemotherapy for leukaemia. I had my first treatment this evening. They also propose to move me to the Chartwell Ward, the specialist cancer ward here.
Not to indulge in self pity, I do wonder what I’ve done to deserve this. It’s very early days, and after a couple of sessions of IV antibiotics I’m actually feeling better today and had my first food since Monday. I badly need a good nights kip (always interrupted by blood pressure checks of course) so fingers crossed for that tonight. The staff here are brilliant.
I didn’t know that much about leukaemia, but am learning fast. Despite my great age (79) I’m hoping that the chemo etc will give me a bit more of a run. I was beginning to really enjoy my Kent Cricket games at Canterbury this summer, and hope it’s not too long before I can get back there.
I’ll keep the page updated with progress if you’re interested. Full love and support to all of you and your loved ones who are suffering with cancer. Keep bobbing along!5 -
I'm so sorry to hear that things are not going as well as you had hoped. Cancer is such a horrible illness. You are in the best place for now, but hopefully you'll be back to watching cricket soon.

Feck it @Peter_G that’s rubbish news!
I really hope you slept better. Here’s to getting back to the cricket asap.
Sending all my love to you ❤️1 -
@Peter_G, that is so rough. Good luck with your treatment
As someone who has had to have a bone marrow biopsy as a pretty fit and ‘young’ 37 year old - I can relate to having to have that procedure done.

Stay positive Peter. We're all with you in spirit. You didn't do anything to deserve it, so don't go down that route. Staying positive and counting your blessings in life is much better. Hopefully in the short term you can enjoy the test match (TMS) and then the blast.1

It's an excellent place if you need cancer care. My husband has received superb care at the numerous visits we've made there since last August.ShootersHillGuru said:

Ah that's rotten luck @Peter_G, I hope you'll be fighting fit in time for the football season, even if it's going to put a major crimp in your enjoyment of the cricket one.@RedJohn, forgive my denseness but when you say the results came back positive does that mean you're going to need to have more treatment?0
