And it is good news!
Consultant has put me into "remission" after MRI showed no signs of further tumours etc. It's a very surreal experience but I hope this serves to show others starting on the journey that this sort of cancer IS curable. I/we can now press on with recovery with less hanging over us (albeit with caution and some trepidation) and I managed to put a whole 1kg on too :-)
Upwards and onwards guys x
