Well done all.
I had to have a cancerous tumour removed from my right kidney four years ago. About 1/3 of it was ressected by robotic surgery and left me with only 4 small insertion scars, the biggest from the hole where they removed the offending part.
There you are on the table with a camera in one hole, two robotic arms and some sort of other plumbing going in, and the surgeon is sitting at a console twenty feet away looking like he is on a gaming machine.
Im not kidding, when they wheeled me into the operating theatre I thought I was on the Starship Enterprise, it was that high tech.
Anyway, Ill be ever grateful for a successful, minimally invasive procedure that has kept me in the clear so far.
It wasnt cheap but it was the best dough I ever spent.
Google Da Vinci robot, and if you ever need your insides worked on, its the only way to go.
Good luck to all the survivors that have shared their stories :Y:

Congratulations Patrick. One of my Grandson's Thomas has just passed 4 years free from Neuroblastoma. He was only 3 when diagnosed and it was a rough few years for the family.
My wife was 5 years free on Valentines Day. Pretty good pressy I think :Y: it knocks you for six when you first get the diagnosis then your emotions go berserk. Its a mongrel thing thats for sure

Went to Centrelink yesterday. They wanted to know if I expected to live for another 2 years. I laughed and said "Ask God"
