Why I’ve not been blogging much this year

Published on by Margaret

This year I haven’t been very active on my blog and that is because in January I had a CT scan as part of a check up on my bowel, after an operation for colon cancer in 2023. As far as the colon was concerned it was negative, but it revealed a small left breast lesion. So I’ve had a lump removed and am currently coming to the end of a course of radiotherapy. This has meant a series of appointments taking up so much time in travelling to hospitals that I haven’t had as much time, or inclination, as usual to spend on blogging and even my reading time has been reduced. Later this month I have an appointment in Ophthalmology for an assessment for a cataract operation, which I am dreading, although I know it’s a routine outpatient procedure.

  4. Oh my goodness but haven’t you been through the mill! I really feel for you.

    Probably not much help, but my husband breezed through both his cataract operations and was surprised how quick they were. I think if you need it you’ll find it a LOT easier than a colonoscopy and I gather the effect is magical.

    Anyway, look after yourself and know you’re friends on your blog are thinking of you.

  6. So sorry you’ve had to go through this again, Margaret – hoping all is now well and stays that way. As for cataracts, the idea of the op has always horrified me, but my mum had both eyes done and the effects were amazing – gave her a whole new lease of life and brought her back to comfortable reading after many years of struggling. Good luck!
