I was joking, jesus, I don't want to think what mine would be like, I'm sure I have IBS. Sounds like you have something worse!

PS has Churchill been drinking, a rather strange compassionate side is showing

I can do compassion!

(Just not very often!)

For someone who's not had it done you described the scene very well!!

The highlight is the consultant saying "it's alright its not cancer" whilst your still drugged up to the eyeballs.

My dad had to have it done last year and a follow up proceedure. They thought he had cancer, turned out OK though.

I've had that 3 times now, the stuff that clears you out the night before is far worse than the actual procedure IMO.

I'm having a barium meal for breakfast tomorrow at 9AM, deep joy!

Hope all goes well! <---- Manly hug of course!

Cheers, they're just checking the pipework for blockages!

Nothing to worry about as I've had the all clear for any real nasties... apart from the mild crohns that is.

You should never have to look at your own rotting internal organs via live relay video footage, from an endoscope inserted up your lubricated anus, dressed in nothing but a 3/4 length floral hospital gown which exposes your genitals in a cocketish fashion

I hope I never have to watch or hear something I've never watched or read too.

Sorry, but the sentence didn't seem to have the same impact as stating I fell asleep during LotR at the cinema.

If makes you happy - I hope I never have to read LotR or watch LotR parts 2 & 3

Thing that upset me was that she was so upset - and its 6 months after the death. Who can blame her though. I wish I could have thought of something comforting instead of changing the subject.

sh 1 t man. what could you do ?

if one of mine died, what could anyone possibly say to comfort me ?

the best you can do is put your hand on the shoulder and say

'if you need anything'


then fck off quick

Brillo, It's very difficult, the relationship we have with death changes over time.

I'd love for you to meet my brother, he's handling the tulip a damn site better than I could even imagine to.

A friend of mine died 24 years ago at age 16, his mother has kept his bedroom clean and the same since the day of his death, we all handle loss of a loved one in different ways. You Said what you said and did what you did at the time. Come on little buddy, don't over analyze.

Mark.

Brillo, these things happen.

My father is 70 very soon, he's been a smoker since he was 9 and it looks like he's going to outlive my younger brother.

By rights, you're correct, no parent should ever have to bury their offspring. But we don't live in a "perfect world". I found out recently that my cousin has cervical cancer, she's only just 40 and was "allowed home from hospital" for Xmas.

My family is quite small and we've had 3 members of the family with various forms of Cancer.

The rest of us have to live on and cope with that.

I'm a great believer in fate, In fact, I believe that the day we're born, the date of our death is pre-ordained.

Yeah, my cousin died just after his 4th birthday - after a long battle with cancer. The poor little fecker, it was horrible.

Fate is a twat sometimes.
