Gordon (my brother) is unwell again


Some of you know already but for those of you that don't. My brothers cancer has returned. It's in his liver again. This time he has two small secondary tumors.
It's been really hard over Christmas and New Year with this looming as well as everything else that's been going on.
He was back to the specialist today but no further forward really. Seemingly there are not a lot of specialists in this field and the waiting list is between four and six weeks long. He will find out in the next couple of days how long he has to wait.

My Uncle has also been diagnosed with cancer. It's in one of his kidneys. He gets his operation next Monday.

Just wanted you all to know what's going on.

Thank you Tilly.
Gordons tumors are operable but he did have a large part of his liver removed due to a tumor not that long ago.
