And best wished to all my pals here.

Good news for me ( very ) and not so good news.

Good news: my surgeon called a few days before Xmas and gave us the good news that the cancer hadn't spread. Biopsy was clear.
All tests & results looked good.

Not so good news: my oncologist has recommended a second round of chemo starting in 2+ weeks.
It will be the same as before: 4 doses every 2 weeks.
So I'm looking at March before I can get this monkey off my back.

Cheers from Aberdeen

Matt

And sincere thanks to all those who have contacted me. You'll never know how much your words and thoughts have meant to me.

Springtime will almost be her in March so after a bad winter you will have summer to look forward to.

The important thing is that you will get the monkey off your back. The bad news is that you'll get rid of the monkey just in time to do a whole month of home-based daily exercises to get fit before the spring comes in April.

Holding thumbs for you, Matt.

The good news is good news for sure, Matt.

Trust that the chemo does the necessary, but I know it's demanding and difficult.  You'll get there, Matt.

Best,  John

Yes indeed. This thing certainly effects a lot of folks around me.
Mrs. Matt has been a diamond. Too many things to list here where she has shone and gone one step beyond.

Here's a shout out to all of our partners who put up with us.
