    Hi all

    On Monday it's my three monthly Onc check up, it only seems like a month since the last one, so this means another routine CT no doubt (but of course that's a good thing).  I know I'm far from being the only one, but I always dread these appointments, it's like having to face up to the reality of what's lurking around my body - thankfully 'under control' at present, waiting to pounce…
