Subject: RE: BS: Oldude wife (prayers and thoughts)
very good news & great stories!

when I left hospital after my cancer op (cancer left at the hospital!) my report said 'margins clear' - which I thought meant that the sides of the great wad of me (pound of flesh?) they removed was clear of cancer cells.

I found out later what margins were. I didn't need any follow up treatment apart from 3-monthly appointments as my type of cancer could come back in the first 2 years.

It's been 2 years since it was removed & my next appointment is in 6 months then 12 month. I'll miss my regular visits to my lovely surgeon & his receptionist.
