Hot off the press

The news is that my Oncology Professor's initial analysis of the scans reveal that they are looking normal. Good news, in fact amazing news!

The scans are however subject to further analysis and confirmation by the team of radiographers.

In the words of the Professor, Professor Dearnerly, "The professionals (radiographers) very rarely disagree with me". In my mind, a statement of confidence that the radiographers will confirm his assessment of the scan.

I now need to wait until next week Friday for confirmation of the confirmation.

While I am very happy, I am going to have to leave the champagne on ice for a week longer.

This is brillaint news!
We are loving that your nodes are normal! Look forward to the formal confirmation, but it sounds like the prof knows his stuff.
Now you need to concentrate on building yourself back up and getting back to normal (as normal as you ever were!)
see you soon

Mate....that's great news!

Let's just hope they don't do a scan of your brain, they'll soon realise how abnormal you are ;)

Seriously though, I'm really happy bud....I'll give you a call at some point next week.

Dear Stu & Debs,
Can't wait to celebrate and toast with you!!!! 7 days to go to confirm the Prof's words? We're really happy for you guys. Although I never thought I would say this it will be fantastic having Stu back to normal??? or better said, our dear friend was never normal and that's exactly what makes him special!!! :-) I'm really missing the 'carrot time', ' blueberries time' and ' it's time to eat healthy seeds and macadamias, but hands off the bag please' !!!
Wish you blessings, strength, patience...and good luck! Keep the spirits high :-)
See you soon...
x, Alexandra

Stu,

That's the best news I've heard in ages! I always knew that you would blow the big C out of the water. I have some champers on ice over in Sydney waiting for the final OK.

Excellent news to start the week over here!

Hi bruv, such awesome news my friend - will celebrate on this side when you get the final thumbs up on Friday - there really is power in positive thinking... it seems you know the secret already my friend. May God continue to bless both you & Debs. Much love to you both. Hugs & kisses, your sis, tashie, xx PS My brother has enjoyed reading your blog and suggests you write a book - I have to 2nd him - do it Wisey - you've always had a way with words and you are a true inspiration - who knows, that may bring you a well-deserved early retirement ;)
