Results.... Sort of.

Good news in the fact that Becky's 'lump' doesn't appear to be sinister or bad in any way, but... They still don't know what it is, and they are unable to test for neurofibromas ( which she already has in multiples, growing on nerves, and consequently painful when knocked). So, they have sent the sample to Nottingham to be tested, I don't know when we will get results from that, but at least she requires no further treatment, and you never know if they find that it is a neuroma, maybe it will help her to treat the ones she already has, we live in hope.

I have had my CT scan today, results Tuesday afternoon, fortunately think Steve can come with me, scan was ok, just wipes me out, but think that's partly due to worry/adrenaline/pretending it's not a big deal etc .

Drawing a line under that and moving on- Jack has had a week skiing with a friend , a more competent skier than him, and consequently I think he has been challenged daily, black runs seem to have featured quite highly on his agenda so no doubt he'll be pleased to get home in one piece!

Dan has just had an amazing trip on a helicopter to see the whales , apparently the boat trips were all fully booked so they had no choice but to take to the skies! Sadly today I hear that further up the coast over 400 of these beautiful mammals were beaching, and many have died, tragic.
He is back in the island next Thursday I think after his epic journey around New Zealand .

I too have more travel plans, two weeks today I am heading over to the uk again, only this time to celebrate my little brothers 'wedding' party. Him and Janet got married in December ( on a cruise in the Caribbean no less ) and so are having a little shindig with family and friends on the 25th.
It's such a pain to get to East Anglia, so I'm flying to Gatwick and catching various trains, if they're running .. Anyway, because it'll take a day travelling each way I'm staying until Tuesday, try to get as much as a 'family' fix as I can.
