There are however still a few very small cancerous spots remining around the area where the main tumour was, as well as the spots on the liver, so some further treatment (non surgical) will be in line when I recover from the surgery. They also discovered I have a minor heart problem which I have to see a cardiologist about, but it's not life threatening or anything.
I gotta say it was a close run thing again though - by the time I got to the hospital, I needed 9 units of blood just to keep me alive until they could operate.
Whilst I'm still not feeling up to taking pics just yet, I'm going to spend some time over the next few days catching up with everyone else's great work.
And finally, thanks to everyone for your unwavering support, it really lifted my spirits during those long days and nights in hospital. You guys are the best!



WOW!!! GREAT NEWS!!! I'm so glad to hear that the prognosis is good and that you have turned a corner!!! I will pray for a speedy recovery!!!
