MRI Scan Result

The result is out. It clearly shows that there is a 'collection of gases & fluid' of an area of 3cm in the perineum, between the symphysis pubis and the base of the penis. It is thought to be traveling down through the base of the penis through the space left behind where Roger's urethra used to be (it was removed in the cancer op of 2009) down towards the scrotum. To complicate matters there is also a tear/hole further down, and as I understand it, is possibly escaping out through the hole & leaking into the colon.

That is what is happening! To find out what is to be done about it, we have to wait until tomorrow (hopefully) when the surgeon will be around to speak to Roger. I hope the timing is such that I can be there too!

We are getting there albeit very slowly.

Will endeavour to keep you posted!
