    Perhaps the best thing to do about the alcohol is to slowly reduce it, that way you'll get used to it.:smile:

    Following the latest scan, the cyst on my adrenal gland is nothing to worry about and whilst my pancreas is not cancerous, looks like it isn't doing it's job! I'll have to take medication to remedy the situation, if that works? You'll all get the OLDER Vince back!:giggle:

        Not me.....you get a:yahoo: from me.

        My sister had really serious pancreatic problems and was in intensive care for 6 weeks. Two years on and she is in a ' good as it gets ' place. Definitely a life changing condition, but what is important is to play by the rules, eat, drink and do only what the consultant tells you to.....and all will be manageable/ fine.:dbgrtmb:

                Elderflower cordial is really fantastic when topped up with White Lightning cider instead of sparkling water :thumbsup:

                          Thank you for all your support through these worrying times, very much appreciated.

                          I thought that was almost an end to things but didn't consider Carols' take on things, I now have a GP appointment for later today to clarify the current situation and see if anything can be done about my arthritis...... I woke Carol up at 3am, I was in agony, I know she cares but why the heck did I let her have my doctors phone number, I could have soldiered on!!

                            The good news is I am still alive

                            The bad news (which I suspected) is that I have to change my lifestyle or else no more Vince (I knew that too, just needed to hear it from a healthcare professional).

                            Now on medication, 3 capsules a day and I have to eat whether I want to or not and maybe for the rest of my life.

                            Personally, I don't really care about me BUT I owe it to Carol and the dogs to get healthy again and I will!
