What is happening with Ian?
I am aware that many of you are concerned about the health issues which I am currently experiencing and the impact which it may have on me – so here is a quick update on where I am
During December I was suffering from abdominal pain, and I went to the doctor, who immediately organised a number of tests. Nothing appeared in most of these tests – 3 blood tests – all normal – however the bowel cancer test showed microscopic traces of blood.
So I have had 2 CT scans and one MRI scan and the damage identified at the moment is as follows.
- Thrombus (blood clot) on my aorta which is being dealt with by daily injections of blood thinners.
- Scarring on my lungs and the start of pulmonary fibrosis – which is being investigated
- A lesion on the tail of my pancreas for which I am having a a gastroscopic investigation with biopsy on Monday
- Possible colon/bowel cancer which is being investigated by a colonoscopy with biopsy on Friday
- Bursitis on my hip – the least of my problems
How did I a never smoking , never alcohol drinking, healthy eating daily exerising old man manage to get these problems? Sadly a number of them are being related now in research to Covid 19 but that is sadly where I am.
As you can doubt see, this will impact my lives and videos quite a bit.
There will be no lives between 7pm on Thursday until Saturday and again on Monday
I’m going to miss you all but hopefully we’ll find out some answers.
I will use this page to provide updates
Thanls
Ian
