I was told that my cancer was terminal about 11 months ago. At that time they told me that I had between 6 months and 2 years to live. Since then I have had radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and have had a good response. I had my last chemo in May and have been so well since then that they have not done any further treatment. A couple of weeks ago the latest scan showed that everything is still good - and I won't need another scan until December.

Follow a bit of disturbed night, she settled down well and looked really good in the morning. We had a visit from a cousin from the Netherlands, and on his arrival she really perked up.
