Oh dear, I pray that everything will turn out well.

'Orrible news Leftie, but it doesn't sound like the fat lady has burst into song just yet. Let's hope the tests come back ok, the very best of British luck mate.

Many many thanks for the kind words, they are a booster.

Just an update, 24hr urine sample in the lab, letter today booking an ultrasound and chest xrays for next Thursday.

Saw cancer specialist last Friday (a rather gorgeous unmarried asian lady with deep black eyes, looking forward to being under her >:D).

Not sure yet when the bone sample will be taken but will let you know.

Peter, the doc said initially any chemo will be taken orally as they think they caught the beginning of it. Which I suppose is good news.
Have had back pains ever since my accident in '76, where my back hurts most is not the area of concern although that aches regularly as well. It's not easy to tell deep musculary pain from a bone pain.

With regard to the 'bense jones paraprotein' , I'm halfway there with my name - Jones.

  Peter, it's good to see you back again. I hope all is going well. Over the years I have known a good few people, my Mother included, who have suffered from various forms of cancer. It never ceases to amaze me how they have all talked about it in such a matter of fact manner. Whether the disease bring out some inner strength or it is a way of copeing I don't know but it is great to see you offering Leftie advice even though you are going through all that sh*t yourself.
