Things are not going too well...
« on: May 07, 2020, 21:28 »
in the Ocular regions.   Good evening everyone,

 I cannot remember me telling you that I have or hopefully had Ocular Melanoma in the right (my better eye).  I'll let you google it if interested, but it is only caught by 1 in 5-6 million.  It has been treated by Proton Beam therapy which has lifted my retina spoiling my vision a tad. Google again but it's a bit heavy going.

Now I discover I have M.G.D. in my left eye (sadly not M.G.B!)  Meibomian Gland Dysfunction which is a problem with the gland in the eye that provides oil which mixes with the tears to stop them evaporating away (which they do) leaving me with dry eye.

All I have to do is get checked every 6 months to check if the cancer has reached my liver.

Gripe over...   Chin up & Cheers,  Tony. :nowink:
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

Fingers crossed for you Tony, that’s a lot to be dealing with.

Sadly Tony the ocular side is my day job (when not on lockdown).
Best wishes hope things turn out for better at some point.

Good luck with that Tony. Christine has eye problems, simply put as "strokes of the eye" She has patches in her vision where there is, well, no vision..we call it blobby eye!

Hang on in there Tony.  I remember you had to travel some distance to have your op.   Hopeful not so much travelling this time.     The very best of luck and I hope all goes well.    Mrs Bouquet

Hope your next news is better news Klefti.

Tony. Sometimes life can be a real bu**er. It's like being on a roller-coaster when you just want to get off and get back to normality. I'll pm you a poem wot I roted when I had invasive cancer and would love to give you a very big GG hug, but this is the best I can do at the moment.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Good evening Goosegirl,  not being the 'poetry type' but I still read it.  Very intense and moving, many thanks.  I'll try and write a poem but it always starts as...There was a girl from Devizes.

I'll get me coat.  Cheers Tony

Is this the one?

There was a girl from Devizes
Who had various kinds of disguises.
Give me a call and I'll show you it all
And you'll never know what the surprise is!





 

I'll get me coat.  Cheers Tony
