It is a week today since J had his CT scan to find out if there is anything untoward causing the pain in his diaphragm. He has been told to ring the consultant this afternoon for results. I’m not particularly thrilled with the results over the phone plan but cest la vie. We must know now. The waiting and not being able to plan, even a week ahead, is really hard.

J has gone off for his CT scan today to see if they can identify what is causing the pain in his diaphragm. I haven't gone with him as I don't think he'll get any results today and time off might be needed more in the future.

Today we have been for his third three month check up. Up until a couple of days ago I had no concerns about it. He looks fine and has…
Wow, so J has been in remission for 6 months. This is amazing news. His check up last week went well. His bloods are good, and the consultant said "everything looks positive". I find it a bit disconcerting that they don't scan him, or feel around lumps; they just use the blood tests, which were always in the normal zone anyway. But, we happily accept it. When we get in there we just seem to want to get out as soon as…
