    Well it has been 6 months since our world was turned upside down, shaken around and stuffed back in.... So far Tony is still NED, but I do find I worry about the slightest thing. If he acts slightly different I panic that he is getting a brain met, if he has a slight mark or papule on his skin I worry it is a patch of melanoma, if he sweats during the night I think "It's back" if he has a bit of a cough, lung cancer, recently he had a gastric bug and I then thought 'Bowels"...

We headed through the double doors to fing a large room with four sections listed A to D and a reception desk. to our right was a blood testing room...
