My dh went for his second appointment at the cancer centre today. His form of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the 'better' of the two. Not only that, but his white cell count hadn't gone up since the last visit, but had fallen. Instead of seeing him in 2 months the doctor thinks that three months will be fine as he doen't seem to be progressing. So that hugh sigh of relief that you heard at 12.30 was me.

Many, many thanks to all my friends on Mumsnet who sent best wishes, good thoughts, positive vibes, prayers etc. Keep them coming, they are doing some good

How can I relay to you how that piece of news just made me feel?

MrsForgetfuls news about schools was wonderful and gave me goose bumps, but this.......

Wonderful, amazing news that his leukemia is the better of the 2 and that his white cell count has fallen. That driving rain can't do anything to dampen my mood now

I'll be raising my glass to you tonight and saying another prayer that you have an even better appointment in 3 months time
