The surgeon called me basically straight after. Hes optimistic.

Spoke to my wife a few hours after that, she was still pretty groggy from the anaesthetic.

My wife will basically be in ICU for a day or two and then a ward for about a week.

The kids are a bit discombobulated, moreso my eldest who has more of an idea of whats up.

So far theyve had ice cream for afternoon tea and dessert, and we played Smash Bros for an hour after I picked up my eldest from school today.

Yeah. He is absolutely the best surgeon she could have had.

Its basically just shit luck weve got to worry about from here, but then, shit luck got us here in the first place.

One that was thankfully caught before it could spread, but would still require fairly serious surgery to remove.

The PET scan didnt show it in any lymph nodes and no secondaries. So fingers and toes well and truly fucking crossed.

Thank you, all!

Shes been switched from the morphine button to endone tabs, apparently shes not in as much pain as she could be. That said, shes tough as fuck and can withstand things that would make a navy seal cry. Its incredible, actually.

The physiotherapist came around to start teaching her how to walk and get up without tearing her internal stitches and shes had a bit of a walk.

Might be able to visit her tonight

Hope it stays clear. Mine was clear after surgery then nodes blew up later.

I agree with 'fuck cancer'. I've seen too many lives ruined over it.

I'm glad it sounds like you guys caught it early and hopefully it's smooth sailing from here.

Honestly nothing but the best of luck to you guys.

Completely by accident, on a routine endoscopy.

The gastroenterologist got to the ileum, realised he could peek further than they usually can, so he did.

Bam. Found a neuroendocrine tumour.

Thankfully, it was fairly small and looks like it hasnt reached any of the really scary stages.

It was basically a mixture of pure curiosity and professional integrity on the part of the gastroenterologist.

He is a good man, and thorough.

Thank you. Its been a weird year.

Just before Christmas my mother in law was diagnosed with an equally unusual, but much more advanced cancer. Shes now doing well, as well.

My wifes was discovered a few days of 10 years from when my dad found out he had terminal cancer. So that added a certain spin to things.

Her surgeon confirmed shell probably be discharged on Monday, shes progressing so well.

My wifes gonna be staying with her parents on account of no kids and far fewer stairs. So its still gonna be 4 weeks of single dadding it, but so far the kids have been great, and all the nervous energy Ive had over the last two days means the house is cleaner than its been for ages.
