True, Iād have the wife up to the doctor with any old complaint whatsoever, Iād insist on it, but Iād literally need to be passed out before Iād consent to seeing a doctor,
Im so full of admiration for you @Portumna_Bridge, even typing that must have been tough, itās put brilliantly, hope youāre back in the classroom before long
All the best @Portumna_Bridge youāre showing true character in revealing what youāve been through. Unnervingly there seems to be a common theme amongst a lot of us in not going to the doctor. I donāt even have a GP and havenāt been near one in about 15 years but at nearly 45 and a smoker and fond of me beer this along with @iron_mike news is a reality check to go and get regular check ups.
Sound for that man, If one lad here can get somthing from that it may save a life in the future. I think men nearly go their whole lives not wanting to know if there is somthing wrong. I hate going to the doctor, I mean hate it one doctor thinks Iām in perfect health cos I havenāt seen him in 10 years one knows somthing the other doesnāt. One knows I smoke the other doesnāt then. Iām fooling myself I know. Takes courage to talk about it.
Some courage to let us know your situation. But like the other lads have said, thank you for your cancer story and it reminds us all that if you think something is wrong get it checked out.
@Portumna_Bridge sorry to hear that mate. Not much that can be said really only best of luck. Weāll see you in August for the Galway v Limerick rematch
21st March kids. Big cunt of an op but the tumour has shrunk. Will be in Portlaoise on Saturday night but will be watching the rest of the league watching from a ward and a colostomy bag. Will be back to full fitness by May 19th hopefully
That sounds alright. The docs have no interest in bulshitting anyone. Theyāll tell you how it is and how itās going to be.
In a years time youāll be offering lads the benefit of your experience.
Youāll be grand. I wouldnāt bet against you at those joke odds. Your battle with cancer is someone elseās textbook battle, rough as it is for you.
