Attitude is half the battle, you beat it once you can do it again.

Best wishes and prayers.

The big 'C' is everyone's nightmare, especially more than once. Mr WB has just been through the nightmare too and is rid of the disease and the dread... modern medicine is a wonderful thing so just keep trusting and believing and stay strong. Good wishes from myself and Mr WB.

I endorse 100% what FireGuy said about attitude!

Sorry to hear your news but know you have our support and prayers here and are wished a speedy return to better health. I am sure you are in very good hands.
My brother received the same diagnosis 3 weeks ago so I can relate on a somewhat personal level.

Stay strong and positive!

Thanks for all the kind words. It means a lot coming from everyone here on DR1.

Here are some details, and I promise to be brief-

I have been diagnosed with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. One of the characteristics of this syndrome is the development of polyps in the gastrointestinal tract.

They are very rarely cancerous in people in their early thirties, but in my case they happen to be. This is likely due to my previous medical history.

There is no known cure for this syndrome, but correct diagnosis and vigilance with the correct diagnostic procedures are the key factors to avoiding problems in the future.

I'll keep everyone updated as things progress.

Thanks all for taking the time.

Peace.
