I hadn't realised quite how low I felt at the time of the last post. Things have, however, taken a consderably better turn: the full report on the repeat scan result after two cycles of chemotherapy shows "improvement in all areas" - all of the affected lymph nodes in my chest and throat have shrunk measurably.

When I was at school, We had an a history teacher who went by the nickname of Ernie Lump due to an extremely large growth on the back of his neck. He was feared by all the students and some of the teachers. As a homage to that teacher I have named the Lump on my Liver “Ernie”
