I don't know if any of you will remember.Some time ago i posted that a friend had found out he had mouth cancer.It was very far gone and he was told his only hope was to have his bottom jaw and tongue removed,and be fed through a tube.Without this they gave him 5 mths to live.He refused this,so they gave him chemo by iv(a new one that they hadn't used before)He had 5 lots,staying in hospital 5 days each time and 5 weeks of week long radiotherpy.He has just been down and he is in remission.It's been a hard few mths but a great ending.We don't know how long he will be cancer free,but for now we are going to have soooo much fun.
And worry again when we need to.

I can't believe a few months ago we were all trying to get our heads round him having a 16hr op.(which he refused)And now he's in remission.We are all so grateful to the doctors and nurses.They really are great people,they have gone a great job.
Dh has just took him back and i feel like shouting from the roof tops,he's better.

These doctors and nurses really are great.
