I would have clenched if that happened
Had a meeting with my surgeon today. There has been a number of recent scans and other meetings (all doomy) with oncologists and other specialists. I was expecting the worst but it seems like the radiotherapy has controlled the cancer in my liver. There is some progression in the disease outside my liver but not enough to warrant surgery (yet). Keep taking the drugs and do some more scans appears to be the plan.
Tl;dr no news, have a glass of wine with dinner

Well I should have kept my mouth shut.
Currently pretty poorly with what Iām 99% certain is a diverticulitis flare-up. So thatās Ā£90 in the bin tonight and I was really looking forward to The Orb tomorrow 
. I might yet get there but it seems unlikely.
Iāll leave it a couple of days and then go drug-seeking at the GP.
As a drive-by for the āwhere are the chips? Burger burger burgerā brigade
Causes and Risk Factors
Diet: A low-fiber, high-fat, or high-red meat diet.
(my consultant was also of the opinion that there was a big uptick in people with sedentary occupations like sitting in front of a computer for 30 years)
Just home from a day procedure at the Oxford John Radcliffe where a robot with a scalpel, driven by a human, went up my nostrils and cut polyps out of my sinuses. Not too painful (but that may be the prescription-strength codeine plus the residual general anaesthetic) but quite a bloody snotty mess draining out of each nostril. Lovely (not). Apparently normal though, while it goes about sealing up. āJust donāt blow your nose !ā
