Hi,

Just a short update about what's going on at the moment. A mix up with my outpatient's appointment means I will not get my pathology results re lymph nodes from my neck until next Wednesday. Today I had an appointment with Plastics to review the skin graph and all is well there. They seem pleased with the way it has taken. They seem to think the dark purple colour is normal which is something of a relief. Now have to wait and hope for the best Christmas present ever 'clear lymph nodes'. Here's to keeping everything crossed X wink
