All clear but Tonsils coming out

Just a short update to keep the story rolling, I have now had my annual PET scan which was mostly positive. Essentially all the areas which had Hodgkins disease are now showing clear with no uptake which is great news.

However I am showing a bit of uptake on one of my tonsils which is probably due to an infection but could possibily be a residual bit of cancer so I am scheduled for tonsil removal on the 11th of September, once out they will be sliced up and checked for any signs of cancer. Hopefully my luck will hold and I will still have my get out of "jail free card". I will keep you posted in a few weeks. Fingers crossed !

Otherwise all is going well, I am enjoying my new job running a small part of our business in Europe learning the art of sales and marketing for a change. This allows me to work from home occasionally and a reasonably easy occasional commute to Munich. We have expanded the family with a dalmatian puppy called Hercules who is a really nice charchter (so far).

So all is well in the world, it is a battle to stop the worries about the future from preventing the enjoyment of the present, but until someone says otherwise I feel fine and I am having as much fun as possible.

Cheers
