You've just found out...

The whispering really probably is just handover between staff to keep people updated- try not to let that worry you.

All I can say is get your tests and get checked out and see what if anything needs to be done.

Good luck.

I knew my spelling of whispering didn't seem right.
But it was the way in which their voices dropped when talking about me, after the operation, that worried me. It was the first time I'd come across it.
Doctors, junior, senior or otherwise I'd got used to over the years. I've been in A&E departments too many times for another, unrelated condition all my life.

Test results are what I'm waiting on now. Just over four months from suspicion to confirmation last time. This time the hospital I was treated in has since closed down.

On a lighter note, it did mean there was less to rub on the saddle whilst cycling.

Cancer. Can't be exactly the same as twelve years ago, that would be medical first.

As for what was done twelve years ago, I had it cut out. So there's no way it can be the same area affected.

DTD
Similar situation. Just recent tests are showing there's a "good chance!!"(ironic wording) its back.

The day after the operation two nurses scared hell out of me by wispering about what had been done as they changed shifts. I've got used to doctors & others in hospitals doing the same, wispering around me, but it was the first time nurses had done so.

It could be the same as 12 years ago - many people have a recurrence of what they had before - unless you had the complete organ removed last time so there's nothing left for it to grow in. If it is then you have the good news of knowing the prognosis is good.

Consider the nurses may be whispering as much to pass on the information to the nurse taking over without telling the whole ward rather than to keep it from you specifically.

Almost the complete organ. Complete internals of affected part removed. Only the waterworks plumbing was left behind.

The nurses, it was the amount their voices dropped & it was the first time I'd had nurses go like that. I was less than arms length away & could just hear them saying something.

I could just cock my toes, say thats it. But that nots my way of working.

Really sorry to hear that, classic33.

What could be done differently? Apart from taking advice regarding treatment from the medical profession, you might want to consider changing your diet (obviously, I have no idea what your diet is like at the moment).

As I understand it, cancer thrives in an acidic environment, so avoid food/drink which is acidic in nature. Eat organic food, avoid storing food in plastic containers (use glass or earthenware). There are a lot of dietary recommendations which can help fight cancer. This has come from experience from a relative who is fighting a type of cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. OK, not all cancers behave the same, but the dietary recommendations are sensible and are often talked about in the media as being 'good for us' in any case.

PM me if you feel like it.

Thanks for that.
Reading through this thread, it seems that before cancer was mentioned, many seemed to be thinking along the lines that it was cancer. But then my view on how it reads is slightly biased.
Its the waiting thats the annoying bit, for me.

Can't advise you, but hope everything turns out ok.

Classic, very sorry to hear the news.

Re the whispering, as others have said that may not be what it seems. I was undergoing tests a year ago and had a very cryptic message left on my answerphone from someone who only left a number and first name, said it was urgent but no details and I even wondered if it was some sort of scam.

It turned out to be the hospital asking me to come in for results but confidentiality rules were so strict they couldn't say that in case I wasn't the first to play the message.

My problem in that case was IBS, but my symptoms were mirroring those of bowel cancer and I have a good GP who was determined to find out what was going on straightaway so there were lots of tests.

Very big good wishes to you

Regarding the whispering

I have had doctors, (junior, senior & otherwise) do the same thing. Lower their voices near me, so I could hear that they were saying something, but unable to work out what it was they were saying. I've got used to it so it never bothers me.
This was the first time that nurses had done this to me. Talking nurse to nurse. Thats what I found the worst part of it last time.

The other thing that stands out, clear, in my mind from that time in hospital was the reaction of an older patient, when they dimmed the lights at night. A constant watch was kept on him but still he managed to get away from his bed. Helping the nursing staff to find him I found him in the toilets. Started talking to him, but I couldn't always understand him. Then I noticed the number tattooed on his arm. It turned out that he thought he was back having experiments done on him. Drips & monitors. And I was left with the feeling that he'd been through that & here I was with a minor, in comparison to what he'd been through, operation. How could I complain. I spent the nighttime keeping him company.
