Friday update

I went to the outpaitents clinic today 2 bits of news. They may not seem huge in your lives but they are mega in mine!

Firstly, the removal was the patchwork quilt of staples were removed from neck and shoulder. Pictures above - before and after.

The 2nd which came out of the blue was that they had the biopsy results from the 32 lymph nodes, glands, muscles they removed Thursday week ago! The cancer was limited to the one lymph gland and had not spread out to the other 31 lymph nodes, muscles or tissue or the rest of my body. In essence by surgery they have removed both tumour and cancer in one hit and now the area is ready to be zapped by the radiation therapy.

I am no means clear, in remission or well but hey it is a better feeling today than at 0930 today.

Keep attacking its Derby day tomorrow!
