Brilliant news re. scans! ((((hugs)))) XI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy4 -

Thanks all. Yes, I was relieved. I wasn't primarily sent for the scan because they were looking for cancer. A previous scan (I was originally referred by gynae) revealed I have another condition, which had a bit of 'a moment' back in Spring when I was really quite ill. They had to take a closer look, hence that major bowel scan. I think they will recommend surgery but knowing they didn't find anything cancerous in addition was a big relief. I feel that 2 new afflictions are quite enough to be going on with.
Your kind comments are much appreciated.
In additional money saving news, Mr F has just announced that he's cashed out his YouGov so there will be an additional £50 for the Savings Pots.

Ah that's bloody brilliant news there are no extra nasties to contend with 🥂 (I've done a cheers with a glass of wine emoji in case when I press 'post' that looks like gobbledygook!)
Gynae problems can eff the eff off (a fellow sufferer of the female torments) but good to be able to focus on and hopefully help the actual matter in hand.
Great that Mr F has got his £50, and that he's handed it over to the savings pot.
I used your rallying cry for a positive and productive week to make myself go for a walk today and it was so nice I did a good hour ambling about and plucking blackberries off the park bushes as I went, so a free portion of my five a day too.
Hope you have a lovely evening with that results weight off your mind x4 -
Great news from the hospital. It must have put your mind to rest a bit.
