Great news, keep goin. I also go to Newcastle, The Freeman where Dr Dark has taken good care of me since 2007. Had several scary moments but his laid back way can calm things down somewhat. (sometimes he infuriates me too cause I go expecting him to tell me one thing & he tells me the opposite). I had & have a bleak prognosis but he seems to have had the ability to have kept me alive these past free years for which I'm grateful.
Keep being positive Shen, yr goin to a great group of teaching hospitals with loads of trials available. The staff never seem to give up on patients.
Good luck

Dear Shen, you've been through a terrible time but it seems things are looking well for you now. I'm really pleased you can put it all behind you and enjoy your remission. It's good we have each other to share these things.
