Prior to Christmas I thought I was a little run down stressed tired and worn out. Y'know, the usual end of year stuff. Busy job, busy life.
However that feeling didn't go away so I went to the doc. Some tests and a referral later and I was in hospital for a CT scan. I have a mass on my liver blocking my bile ducts which is caused by cancer. This is probably coming from my bowel. However this can't be treated until the bile is managed so I have has two procedures, one to fit plastic stents, and then to replace them with internal metal ones which allow things to flow. The second procedure was quite tough and gave me a real kicking. A good direct chat with my consultant today gave me a clearer picture and I'm quite comfy.
What happens next depends on lots of factors.
But while I am in, I get a lot from your posts and blog updates and gaming news. I can't push my own lead around the table yet, but I enjoy seeing your stuff.
The support I've had from my hobby friends has been great. Keep up the great work, you'd be surprised how much people get from what you share.

Hi Stuart, thanks for the update, good that you now have a diagnosis and a treatment plan. I think the nature of blogs and the general friendliness of the blogosphere makes them good companions when coping with illness and recuperation etc. There is a wargame group who put out a regular PDF home brew magazine that you can download for free. They are up to issue sixty four. and all back issues are available - brilliant when hospital visiting etc.
