LK great news fingers crossed he doesn't need chemo. My OH's hair is now back he's updated his style - gets one of the boys to give him a No 2 cut and has grown a goatee and moustache people he has known for years dont recognise him! He goes for a scan on Thur and is waiting for date for a colonoscopy so fingers crossed results are good.
Dea - its a true saying every cloud has a silver lining my OH's cancer was found because he went to Doc with what he thought was a strained muscle in his side which when the doc examined him he found the tumour which was the size of a grapefruit and which he could have had for up to 5 years without any symptoms.
one more day babysitting GD then off till next week :-D

A friend of my husbands seems to have had a 'lucky escape' recently.

He had pneumonia a while ago and was quite poorly - they of course, x-rayed his lungs but they were not happy with the resukts so they sent him for an MRI scan.

When they looked at the scan, the lungs were O.K. but the doctor saw something in his kidney which did not look good so they recommended he see a kidney Specialist.

It was found that he had a cancer tumour. It was only small but obviously it would get bigger so he has just been in to have the kidney removed.

If he had not have had the pneumonia he would not have had the scan and the cancer would not have been noticed until it started to cause problems.

He was very lucky.

OH has been told they have removed all of the cancer. He has an appointment in 2 weeks to discuss chemo just in case.

I am at the hospital tomorrow as a routine glaucoma monitoring.

Gins,

Probably a wise decision besides which if the stories that I have heard about you are even half true then your chances of it ever happening are pretty slim. ;-)

Gee Report 24 Apr 2012 08:58

I'll not bother then, takes too long ;-)

The Pope is usually the one to decide who will be a saint and who will not, but after a huge investigation and approval of other priests and Catholics. He makes the final decision. He may assign a certain Saint as the patron saint of a profession, way of life or illness.
Centuries can pass after someone receives sainthood before he or she becomes the patron saint of anything. For example with St. Clare, who founded the Poor sisters in the 12th century is now the patron saint of television because it was said she lay ill in her bed and would watch "mass" through the walls of her room.

The choice of saint to represent a country is made by a reigning Monarch, government or church leaders. A petition for approval is sent to the Congregation for Causes of Saints in the Vatican. If devotion, in that country, to the saint in question can be proved to the Congregations satisfaction, approval is given via an Apostolic Letter from the reigning Pope.

One more thing............



How do you get to be a patron saint??????

Jonesey

Jonesey Report 24 Apr 2012 08:30

Gin,

St George, patron saint of England was born in Turkey.

St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland believed to have been born in Wales.

St Andrew, patron saint of Scotland was born in Palestine.

International transfers were happening long before football was invented. ;-)

Only the Welsh stuck with home grown talent. :-D
