I guess there aren't as many comments due to the fact a lot of people are chatting away on facebook but Cath this news makes me smile so much. Wishing for more good news. X.

Hi Cath, that is excellent news, im just delighted for you!!!!

I seen your news through facebook, really wanted to leave you a message but i never comment due to it not being private and alot of people reading my posts. Although i love reading all posts everyday!

My Dad got his scan results last Thursday. He is stable, no change, tumor has not got smaller or bigger! We are delighted!!. He is feeling so well at the minute. They only gave him 4 cycles of chemo as they felt it done its job and will use more for backup when the time comes. He has been free of chemo for 4 months now, bit scary!! But thankfully results were good as well as his well being.

Hope your enjoying that sunshine Cath, lovely to hear from you and your good news and I hope everything stays positve for you.

Love Rachel xx

This is the first time I've looked at this blog and it made me really happy. My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer in Feb. and reluctantly agreed to chemo. He's been really good since. Just finishing third cycle today with no side effects other than lack of energy. Dr. probably won't do scan until after the 4th and it feels so good to hear that maybe it'll be good news when it happens. I'll write more later.
