12 months ago i only suffered with parkinsons which the drugs kept uner control, in fact it was only little things that showed it up. 6 months ago i began to feel ill and the parkis more pronounced, tests showed bowel cancer which meant the fitting of a stoma and chemotherapy at christies, the treatment seems to working as i am now able to go out without the parki shuffle and more importantly the chemo seems to be working, i have a scan on 11 th of october to if the tumor is shrinking, some of replies to your posts may sound a bit flippant for this i apoloigise but it does help.
