Hi Tammy, I'm an Ex-pat Kiwi living in Canberra and have learned you have to be assertive about your health to get any action. I'm grateful for the care I've had but a conservative treatment line has allowed a second tumour to get to a large size before anything was done and I'm now at the pointy end where they have t
done the second surgery, NOT had clear margins and had to go thru 6 rounds of cisplatin with 35 radiations in the hope it will stop the disease. PET is scheduled for end of May so - Who Knows??
Sounds like Kris is doing well- long may that be so
Best regards
Penny
