I’ve got a new cock! Oh, and I’m still alive.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

I spent three hours in theatre, all the nasty stuff is out and I\u2019m on the road to recovery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to be sore in the morning, but right now I feel like a new man…\u00a0 I’m not quite as perky as I was earlier<\/a>, it’s probably the morphine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was sick a couple of times when I woke up. I really didn\u2019t like the initial painkillers much, and anaesthetics<\/a> clearly don’t agree with me. I\u2019m a bit drained, but it’s nothing that a decent sleep won\u2019t fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up, they need to do a bit of analysis on the tumours<\/a> they removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Christmas, I\u2019ll be popping over to St George\u2019s for something called nuclear medicine<\/a>. I have no idea what that is, apart from special scans on a cellular level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we’ll get the radiotherapy sorted once all the staging is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
