For those of you who are kind enough to have us in your thoughts, some good news today.

We saw the consultant who now has the results of all dh's scans.

All of the tumours, the primary in the pancreas and the secondaries in the liver and bowel have significantly shrunk after 3 months of chemo. This is the reason that Dh is feeling so much better in himself.

He has now started the first of another 3 months of theatment......we have come home from the oncology unit because they had to make up his chemo again as he has put so much of the weight back on!

The outcome is still the same, but dh appears to by dying considerably more slownly than he was before Xmas

Thank you again for all your good thoughts! It means so much to both of us!

Where are we off to next?

If all goes OK we have a holiday booked in Duinrell in Holland. We always go there in the Easter holidays with close friends, and had booked this last summer before we got the Dx.

I never thought that he would still be with us for this to be an option

That's really good news about the scan, MB.

I'm glad you have more time, mb - and that you are making the most of every minute. It's wonderful that he's well enough for you to do these lovely things. Have you managed to get hold of any chicken vaginas yet ?

That is wonderful news mb and all the more so because dh is feeling good too. So glad too that you are now planning your next family break away.

Thank you so much for keeping us updated - I too often think of you all, and its always a very positive thought not anything morbid (I hope you understand what I mean)
