I'll certainly do my best Smithy - thanks, man!

Well, an update - saw my surgeon and the cancer specialist this morning. They reckon that Chemotherapy, followed by combination Chemo/Radio therapy is the way to go. This will all be done at the Beatson in Glasgow (Smithy and some others will probably know of it) and the whole thing kicks-off on the 22nd.

I have to have a few preliminary things carried out prior to the actual therapy commencing, including having a mask made (to cover my ugly mug!!), so not sure exactly when the Chemo start-date is - but certainly by the end of the month.

On the positive side; both Doc's seem to think that with a mere smidgin of good fortune, the tumour(s) will be killed off, and in the fullness of time, I'll be back to the awkward, obnoxious gitI am now.

On the negative side; well, it hasn't improved my typing skills one iota!

P.S. DB - I hope this mutual-praying gig doesn't cancel itself out!!
