Hi to all my Macmates and to all the newbies too.
It was September when I last blogged and we had just come home from Canada.
To update Laurence is still doing really well, so much so that we put our January Onc John appointment back to March. Well we go in he asks Laurence how he's doing Laurence says "OK", Then onc John asks "any problems" Laurence replys "No" Next question is "do you want a scan to see how things are progressing" Laurence says "No thanks" Then onc John usually gives us a little speech about how we are doing the right thing and when do we want to see him again, he also tells us that we can contact him sooner if we want/need to or push things back a bit if everything ok. It will be nearly 9 months since we went last time till we go in March, Laurence can't see much point in going when he hasn't any symptoms (Thank God) and they can't do anything as chemo doesn't work on his type of tumours.
We are still ticking things off and adding to his bucket list. The next big news is that I'm taking early retirement so we can spend time together while he's still well enough to do things. Mind you money will be so tight once I do finish that we won't be galavanting around, but money isn't everything.
Well my friends I hope you are all doing the best you can.
Love Life and Lots of Laughter
Shelley
