Thanks for your kind wishes.
The radio/chemo was not too bad thanks. I think the radio ha messed up my stomach a bit, but they warned the effects are at their worst two weeks after, which is now.

A scan will show if it has shrunk enough to operate, but that is a very small chance so nature will take its course.

I hope you have a healthy, peaceful and joyous Christmas.
Very best wishes,
keith.
