Progress to date

Oops, been offline for a while....a lot has happened. mostly good. Since diagnosis Jan has had three years of active live, and in those years we have had the joy of three grandsons. so fast as 2 were twins. All visited last weeekend, what a joy, yet also what utter hard work. Had cancer taken Jan earlier we would have missed so much, and I think the twins really need our help. Thank you God

In the last year Jan has also had a further 2 checks, and again on form our dear NHS yet again raised a false alarm meaning yet again our summer holiday plans were ruined as Jan was at beck and call of hospital staff who insisted on doing further tests. In the end she was pronounced clear, but only after a very stressful time spanning weeks.

The other amazing items of news on cancer seems to be greater concern on our treatment. Last week the TV and press carried an article suggesting that all our screening for breast cancer was making no improvement to cancer death rates. Tonight a channel four program entitled "Food Hospital" suggested changing diet could be more effective than drugs, and interviewed several patients whose improvements seemed to prove their case. Unfortunately I thought the program was very superficial, but at least it is a start
