Hello toby, 

just wondering how you are getting along after your operation I am due to go in for the same thing so eager to see how the pain is now.

Hi Tracey - sorry  to hear your news. I had my op back in January and have to say recovery was easier than I thought it was going to be. Within a week of being home I was walking my dog (not far but it was a start) and after a month, I was walking 2-3 miles everyday. Unfortunately, it turned out that my tumour was worse than they thought and so am currently going through chemo as well which, although unpleasant, again is not as bad as you might think.The pain wasn't too bad although I was taking strong pain killers but only for 2 weeks - then just took ibuprofen when needed... Stay strong - you've got this. Tx

Hi toby

thank you for getting back to me so quick, I am in hospital right now came in at dinnertime I have my op on Tuesday but my surgeon wanted some last minute tests so I have been very nervous today, thank you for putting me at ease with the pain it’s that I seem to be more scared of. I am so very sorry to hear your journey continues but fingers crossed it all comes good for you and like you say the human body really is an amazing machine.

I will keep you in my prayers, you also stay strong you seem to have a very good mindset because I have found that when you have a little wobble that seems to do more harm than good, we’re in this together we can do it.
