Cheers everybody , and thanks for your support i saw my consultant on Wednesday and had a scan on thurs ,he said every thing is all OK and i am healing very quick ,and should be very pleased , and told me i was expecting to much he said i must remember i am getting over cancer and not a cold , now where have i heard that one before ,i wonder if he reads this site , so i feel a bit better he has told me not to expect to much and it will take another 6 months to feel a lot better , ie hair growing back, beard growing back and saliva ( i dream of saliva ) so my next target is to eat a sandwich , what a great site and what fantastic people on it ,without this site this unbelievable disease would have been a lot worse , thanks Allan
