Hi Dougie,

Sorry to hear things are so bad at the moment.

Hope your back on track soon.

Morning Dougie.  Sending a bit of strength. Hope it gets to you. X

Yes it's been a fine day for many today. Hope you got out in the sun, Dougie  Best wishes.

Thank guy's, you really are so kind. I have a double appointment at hospital today, and hope to be able to post an update tonight.

Morning Dougie. I do hope today goes well for you and you get some answers.  Hopefully your appointments will be on time so you don't have long frustrating waiting times.  X 

Good to see you posting again - but not sure about the middle of the night!  

Hope you're feeling a little better and that the hospital trip goes smoothly and doesn't tire you out.

Good luck. Hope the appointments go well. 

I am afraid that the only news I have is bad. The MRI scan showed that the cancer has now spread to my spine. I need time to digest this.

I'm so sorry to hear this Dougie.

I can't begin to imagine what you're going through right now, the only solace I can think of to post is that you have a bunch of weirdos on the internet who are thinking of you and who genuinely care. 

Try and take care. You know where we are. 

Oh no Dougie!  I am so sorry to hear that.  Of course you need time to digest it, although I think you had your suspicions.  You know your body and you knew something wasn't right.  But to have that confirmed must be shattering news.  

There's I can say to make you feel better. I know you have to come to terms in your own time but please remember we're here for you.  You will need to get things off your chest, so please don't hold back.  

I'll be thinking about you.  Sending a big hug. X

Not good news Dougie.. Another cross to bear. Will cause more pain and maybe loss of movement  Something to endure .We shall be thinking of you whatever you do...

Sorry to hear the bad news Dougie, we are all still thinking of you. 

Ditto to what Steve & many others have said tonight, Dougie. We're all rooting for you at this awfully difficult time, and try to stay strong.

Next up, a CT scan on Wednesday, with the results next Monday.

Thanks to all the well wishers. It is a difficult time, and I will have to think long and hard as to my future. I have put any thoughts of getting a cat on hold for now.

Morning Dougie. Sending strength and kind thoughts your way, hoping they might go just a little way towards helping you through your day.  X

Thanks Caz.

Stay tough, Dougie.

Oh Dougie really sorry to hear you've had such bad news. We're all rooting for you my friend.

Really sorry to read about your latest bit of bad news. I know it must be an awful time full of anxiety and more but as everyone has said, we're here to offer what little comfort we can.

Fingers crossed for some better news.
