H and I went to see Dr Khoo this week, for H's regular three-monthly consultation. We hadn't thought it was a big occasion – H's 5 years since diagnosis is this November, so we were more bated breath for that one when it comes.<\/p>\n
But Khoo took us by surprise – with a big smile on his face. In a nutshell, he said that on diagnosis H had only a 15-20% chance of getting to the health position he is in today. The disease was then already outside his prostate, in the seminal vesicle and pelvic bones.<\/p>\n
So it was FANTASTIC to hear that he is somehow – rather miraculously – on the 'best' track that a person can be, at this point. Not out of the woods yet – there's certainly no mention of 'remission', let alone 'cure' as yet – but at least things are as good as they can be and the chance of either one or both those two mythical beasts is still somewhere out there. Maybe.<\/p>\n
There's another 2 years to keep going down the track till Khoo might be in a position to offer us one of those very desirable words. And that's a while in the crappy world of cancer, which can obvs bite you on the ass any time, especially when you least think it might do. But – we were delighted to hear Khoo's positive words and to be told 'you can make some longer term plans'.<\/p>\n
We take every uplift with open arms, especially the unexpected ones!<\/p>\n
