I've just heard from Kendall that the cancer hasn't grown or spread and that the doctor thinks that it can be dealt with by way of laser surgery. He will have to see the specialist in Boston on Thursday to confirm that he is suitable for laser treatment but at least the cancer is still contained.

Great relief all round I think but I will be glad when I can join him in Maine - he gets up to too much trouble left on his own! (Only joking Kendall!)
