First All Clear!

A little over two weeks ago now, Richard had his MRI scan and the next day was given the "all clear" by Prof Cunningham! What a great feeling!

Apparently everything internally looks good. He's just a bit anaemic still so some iron pills were prescribed.

With the good news, the next day we flew back to Sardinia to be with wonderful friends and bask in the sun, swim in our warm pool and dive into the emerald sea. All this and delicious food punctuated by long naps and great laughs at cocktail hour. Richard's back on Campari, orange juice and soda.

In three months time he will go back for another scan. And so it will go for a year, then scans every six months for a further four years when, if everything is still clear, it will be considered "a cure".

The message is clear. "Embrace the moment", and Richard is doing just that! We are off to Mykonos next week for a friends 40th birthday party!
