An update!

After having 11 chemo sessions in his first cycle the Big Man Got the results of his scan today - his birthday (and PJ's!).

Good news! The tumors in his lungs have disappeared and the tumors everywhere else have shrunk! :D :D

Thank you all for your positivity and good energy - it's most definitley helping so keep it coming!!

Today is a great day to celebrate, birthdays, anniversaries, good news and life itself! 8-)

Not sure what the next step is going to be - but for now its time to rest up, enjoy life and make the most of every day!

Update 2

Unfortunately after a recent scan it looks like the tumours are growing again. The Big Man goes back in for more Chemo towards the end of March. Please keep him in your thoughts and send some positivity through - he needs to get better for the next time the guys are in the UK!

Cheers guys, it was a bit of blow after doing so well with the first round of chemo. He's in a lot of pain at the minute, I pray the Drs are wrong and he'll make a full recovery one day.

Thanks Paul, yeah we'd hoped things would get better quicker! As things stand the treatment seems to be stopping the tumours from getting much bigger but it means pretty much constant treatment.

It's been 2 years since the last request, I'm hoping that as the last one didn't come off (for whatever reason) the band sees he's still fighting and makes a dedication in 2012!!!

Pretty please! :D
