Good News, lots of Phews!


Mandy has just about had the fortnight from hell, with the many effects of chemo, the onset of lymph oedema, and then discovering the serious concerns of the doctors over the possible cause of the lymphoedema and concern that cancer may be  causing the problem. Understandably, at times she has been mentally, physically and emotionally stretched, but has tried so hard to protect me from all of that by saying she is fine, when I can see that she is not. 

Well,  the appointment we were almost hoping would never arrive, had to be faced today. We were getting the results of the scans on the area of the last operation, and received the news that the scan did not show anything. Fantastic news, and such a relief, because at times like these the mind goes all over the place.

Tonight feels much different to the way we both thought it may feel. 

Thank you everyone for your kind support. It is getting Mandy through all of this.
