Recent events have reminded me I have been extremely lax in updating this thread.

I was in for check-up number 12 last week, and again all remains clear. Seen by "The Boss" for the third time in a row, who has now moved me to 3-monthly visits. I must confess that I had a wee blip round Christmas time, where I thought I could feel, well, something in my neck; however, another really thorough ultrasound put my mind at ease re that, so all is good for me.

Not such good news about my ex wife though. Now, I can't remember if I mentioned her developing breast cancer round about the time I finished my treatment schedule; apologies if not. Anyway, she had the whole chemo-mastectomy-reconstruction surgery thing, and all appeared good for her, too.
Unfortunately, just before Christmas, she found she had developed metastases in both her spinal cord and brain, which gave her a really lousy prognosis. Sadly, she passed away on (Easter) Monday morning, aged just 42.

I would like to point out now, that I'm not posting this for myself; rather, for my 17-year old daughter, who has lost a loving and devoted mother. For those of you who believe, a prayer for my daughter and her own continued good health both physical and mental would be very much appreciated. For those who don't believe, a simple good thought for her will also be most welcome, and also much appreciated.

Thanks for reading, and may you all enjoy the best of health.
