Slimwilly and Adeejaysdelight , I am glad your Mums are on the mend .
I spoke with Mum this morning , she has got to have a full body scan next week , they have told her they will operate if they can pretty quickly , she had half her colon removed two years ago , we're all trying to stay positive and hope for the best , Mums an ex nurse and one of those stoic people and just gets on with things .
