Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Hi guys. I hate secrets but I've been keeping one and I feel it's time to share with you all because you share your ups and downs, good times and bad times. I have told a couple of people but I wasn't ready to open it to the wider world. However I feel I can now. A few weeks ago our son had a growth removed from his ankle that looked like an infected bite. Unfortunately it has turned out to be a malignant melanoma. He now needs a further, bigger operation on his foot to dig out any remaining cancerous cells. He also had a full body scan. The results were good but not as good as they could have been. His liver, lungs and brain are clear but one of his lymph nodes was enlarged so that could mean it has spread to there. Or it could be nothing. He now has to have a biopsy on that to find out. As you can imagine we are so upset, even though the prognosis is generally good and I am confident that he will be OK. It's just not something you expect to have to deal with when it's your kids. I have to say 2024 has been a pretty sh*t (sorry Pete) year so far.

Sorry to hear this Anj, and I know what you are going through. The waiting and not knowing is agony. Fingers crossed for the outcome you are hoping for.

Taking the piss, she's a cheeky mare, only does it in spring/summer or when the suns out.

So it’s been nice and warm here lately, snows all melted then getting a big snow storm the next few days, me and Mrs DE off to Banff for the weekend, it’s only a hour away it’s a town in the mountains, great getaway

If you haven’t heard of Banff google it, so lucky to have a place like this so close
