Wonderful news Wanda. The absolute biggest sense of relief is felt on these days when you hear "all clear". Congratulations to you both. sorry I can't answer your other question. Steve hasn't had a blood test done since he finished treatment. Not sure if that is a good thing though but he also got the all clear today and is now 22 months out of treatment so we are happy. All the best to you and John.
