The cooking instructions stated:- Slowly marinate in a variety of spices for three months, topping up frequently.
- Check that all areas have been effected by scanning from various angles.
- Cook at 1,000,000 oC (See instruction manual for gas) for three weeks, turning frequently, watching not to burn outer skin.
Result - Cancer free living?
That's it, today I walked out of Christies Hospital in Manchester knowing that I will not go back in for any further treatment, finished, fenitoed, gone, no more! A great feeling for Vicky and myself after 5 months. Another chapter of this tale completed and a new one begins, hopefully with a very happy ending. Feel good, skin on shoulder burnt and red in color, but other than that all OK.
My next appointment is on August 13th with Prof Radford and the next scan is in October. These will give negative results (i.e. no cancer) and my time in remission begins. In the meantime, I need to slowly build myself up and get fit for the future, including work, after 7 months off! I have to admit that I look forward to getting a normal life back again and interacting with friends and colleagues.
Off to put my feet up and watch Tim Henman for the next 3 hours (oh he's just lost) and loose some weight!
Cheers

HOOORAY! I'm so excited for you to be DONE!!!! What a relief!!!!! And I LOVE your fun picture, you're nuts! I hope you get your strength back soon, have a drink tonight and celebrate your freedom!!
Great news. We've all been with you, counting down to this day. No one will be more delighted than you and Vicky. The pair of you have been absolute stars and (despite the ups and downs) have coped tremendously. We are all so proud of you both.
Make the most of the next few weeks - but without over doing it. If you are really lucky I might dust my bike off and meet you along the Middlewood Way (I know a few good pubs en route).
I was going to say 'I bet your peckers up now' but it sounds a bit rude!
Have a great time in Amsterdam at the weekend.
Lots of love and big cuddles,
