Hi Donnie,

Great to hear from you again! No tumour growth, now that is positive I would argue. THe biliary bag not so good but as you say, it gives you quality of life and I would argue that that is so very important indeed! As to things being up to your body now, well you are Scottish and we are a very stubborn lot are we not. When someone or something tells us no or do this or that, or don’t do this or that and the next thing we usually say is aye, nae bother pal. Of course if you come from Dundee it is aye, nae bathir pal!

So you keep on not doing what the internet says Donnie, nae bother at all! Pays not to listen to the stats doesn’t it as they are just numbers and can be interpreted many ways, made up many ways etc and since many of them were collated things have moved on much.

Keeping the cancer in check, we like that lots! Hope that the change in antibiotics works well for you and please let us know how that goes. You know that we are all here for you Donnie and rooting loads for you as we.. Say hi to Lorraine from us as well and I so look forward to hearing from you and Lorraine again as soon as possible.

My best to you Donnie,

Gavin
