Mrs is OK ta, she's had her thyroidectomy, 2cm papillary tumour and 8 infected lymph nodes removed, is on the low iodine diet and stops the liothyronine (T3) next monday ready for RAI 15 Jun in the same facility that I'm leaving in about 3 hours - hurrah!

What a freak show we present though? Slashed necks together.

We've been married 26 years this year, been through thick and thin together, including 20 years flying Harriers and surviving that - the padre never took the walk up the garden path!! But nothing could have prepared us for this. It's awesome in the way it plays on the mind. The battle is, I believe, 90% mental and we're getting there.

Cheers for now

I'll keep posting to keep a record going should anyone wish to refer to what is an intriguing experience.
