My husband Ken
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 12:14 am Post subject: Even More Good News
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As some of you know my husband Ken was diagnosed with terminal cancer of the sinus in his face in August last year but then in February we were told there might be a possibility of them doing an operation but he had to have a bone scan first.
When Ken was first diagnosed with cancer in 2005 we were told it might involve a major operation which meant losing half of his face including his eye. Because of this we were thinking that this was the operation that they were now considering but when we went back yesterday for the bone scan result we got a really nice surprise. They said the bone scan was ok and that because the cancer had shrunk so much, it is now only the size of a two pence piece, they could do a minor operation with no involvement of the eye or upper jaw and providing they could get everything out the cancer would be cured!!!
You can imagine the jubilation that we felt. I know it is early days yet but from having hardly any hope last year to this is fantastic. When we were first told about this in August I just could not see a light at the end of the tunnel but of course now is a different story.
Our dream to move over to Cyprus to live may be a reality after all. We are coming over on Saturday for a 2 week holiday and are going to really enjoy it now. Ken is to have the operation at the beginning of April so he will be nicely rested before it.

Hi Lyn,
Fantastic news, I can't imagine how you & Ken must have been feeling before this news but I bet that you're both in seventh heaven now
I was wonder if you'd be willing to tell our members what symptoms Ken was suffering from before he was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, as it may help other members in the future, should this happen to any of them
I'll understand if you decide not too, as it must be a terrible situation to be in, so please don't feel pressured, as I wouldn't want to bring back bad memories to you or Ken
Any information would be gratefully appreciated

I will wait until the changeover of the hosting company before posting an official date for a get together, as apparently it will "disappear" when we change over.
BUT put a note in your diaries girls - Wednesday 19th March, the Ladies Coffee shop (let's hope the gas doesn't run out this time )

So pleased for you and ken, it is always so good to hear a positive outcome and I sincerely hope you enjoy your break and the weather is kind to you.
I will miss the coffee morning as we are out now and return on March 15th, but hope to meet you in the future, when we return to this wonderful island.
Chris

Hi Lyn & Ken,
That is fantastic news, you both must be over the moon !!
Just come over and really chill here on your holiday and like you say Ken will be well rested for when you're back in Uk.
Keeping everything crossed for you, and hoping that dream
to move to Cyprus really does come true.
Sharon & Ted
