Roots of the illness

Looking back over the last 10 years it’s interesting to see where possible signs of cancer were emerging in my body.

In July 2016  we had a short holiday in Wales and Chris noted that I struggled on a short walk in Snowdonia

And then in 2017 I was struggling with cramp and swollen ankles. Which resurfaced in 2018

And in 2019 I had bouts of back pain and sudden constipatio

And then in 2020 Chris notes that I had strange issues when going to the toilet.
In July she notes that  I started needing to go for a wee often at night and had pain when doing so.  Also discoloured faeces. In
The cramp and swollen ankles was happening a lot
And in November she mentions ‘Abdominal issues’

In 2021 there is are signs of increasing health problems. I love working in the garden and she notes that I bought a support belt for my back.

In May and June I did a little bit of work in a neighbours garden – mowing her lawn but only intermittently due to kidney stone type pain, including back pain.
I was also needing to pee a lot

I was also having problems with walking any great distance.
