I've written previosly about my husband's operation for skin cancer, and his subsequent course of radiotherapy. The radiation was necessary because it was possible that they didn't get all the cancer out.
Since this type of cancer is more easily treated than most others, we were very hopeful. It was on his face, just under his eye, and so it was a difficult place to get at properly.
We've been to the hospital this afternoon for a check-up, and the good news is that all the cancer is gone. We are so relieved.
I sincerely hope that if you or yours have, or have had cancer, that you get good results, like us.

And that second doctor advised me to keep away from the sun henceforth as fair-skinned people are more prone to skin cancer. I have been riding a motorcycle for 17 years but was forced to let go of it because I already had 2 daughters for the whole family riding on a single motorcycle. I regretted later though for selling my motorcycle because I had taken good care of it and it always looked new and all accessories were intact and functioning. The next time I saw my motorcycle with the new owner, it broke my heart seeing its shabby condition.

@Marilynda1225 It certainly is a relief - it was not a good feeling when something like that was hanging over us.

That is wonderful news! Unfortunately, we are not normally that lucky in our family with cancer. Still, it is nice to hear that some people have better luck than we do.
By the way, I don't remember posing for your picture.
I do look lovely in your photo, though, don't I?

@jaboUK I am just glad that not only did you capture my good side but also I wasn't doing anything embarrassing when you snuck up on me.
There are two "c" words that are unmentionable in my house and strike terror in me when I hear them - cancer and cockroaches.

@purplealabaster Oh I so agree, and cockroaches are some of the most loathsome creatures on earth!

@purplealbaster Ha - I sneaked up on you when you weren't looking. I agree you do look beautiful!
I'm sorry that your family has been unlucky with this horrible disease. We were just fortunate that my husband had an easily treatable version.

@jaboUK I understand exactly how you feel with it hanging over you. I went through that cancer scar with my husband just a few months ago. He went down so fast in the last six months, that I thought he must have lung cancer. He has COPD, and has had it for ten plus years, but now it is so much worse. He was put on Oxygen Jan 28th.

@Morleyhunt Yes that's what we are for too. There was no pain involved with this for him, but it eats away at you if you don't do anything about it.

My mother is also undergoing radiotherapy at the moment.
She needs to go to the hospital for a month for the treatment.
I buy Prosure for her.
Radiotherapy is still damaging on the body despite the assurance of the doctors, and Prosure is the only product in the market especially formulated for cancer patient.

@jaboUK Over here, cancer is so prevalent, and we are no longer shocked when someone gets cancer.
Anyway recovery rate is very high for first time cancer.
It is the relapse that is scary.
I think after this round of radiotherapy, my mum is more or less cancer free.
Do get Prosure for your husband.
It will be a great help.
In fact, my mum puts on weight!

@jaboUK it is encouraging to know a few people who fought back at the Big C and won. It tells other sufferers not to give up too
