    Hi
    Just a note to let you all know I know she comes on here daily and really values the support.
    Shes had digestive problems for a while now and at the weekend had terrible abdominal pain.She was admitted yesterday with a colonic rupture and is really very ill.Currently they are running tests to see if its cancer spread or an unrelated problem.
    Claire trys to put a very brave face on everything she has been through and is my inspiration I will do my best to keep you informed.

    When Claire PM me and asked if I would removed that skull with moving finger I took it off right away and put my witch back up and then I had a member ask if I would remove it from here and I did that also. Now to me it was just a Halloween Gif but it did not bother me but then I should of thought about others. So anyone that was offended by it I send out my apologies. I hope all goes well with Claire and she is ok. None of us need another problem on top of this disease. Peace, Joe ;)

    Hey, Joe…I wanted to ask where you guys were getting the awesome pics. I never even considered being offended.

    But then, I’m in Iowa.

    Steve,

    Glad to hear she is on the road home…Tell Claire she needs to hurry up, she is missed and needed here. I hope she has some good “Hospital” stories….

    Thinking of you both,

    Hi
    Thanks for all your messages I will pass them on.Things are bit more settled now.The chemotherapy Claire had after the cystectomy has caused her immune system to be over sensitive and attack her own cells in her colon causing a form of ulcerative colitis.The great news is that there is no sign of her cancer reoccurring.She had surgery on Sunday evening to take out the portion of colon that was effected and is recovering well from that.However because of the leakage there is a degree of infection which has made her quite ill.
    She came out of intensive care last night and is now just in a high dependency unit and a lot more with it.Claire has fantastic determination and her will to be well and get through this is amazing so I am sure she will be fine.I know the support she receives on here means so much and its always her first stop whenever we get back from checkups.Last night one of the first things she said was to let you all know she was doing great and it wasnt cancer.I am sure she will soon be back home and back to normal.
    Steve .
