they've caught it early
but there are 5 tumours. nearly punched someone earlier when he suggested my best bet was prayer.

Give him the greatest biggest longest Smash Monkey hugs you can muster
they definitely help :)

he's not a hugger
very emotionally closed off, apart from anger. i'll probably get him a bottle of brandy on payday, he'd appreciate that more.

I think that's the gift I'd most appreciate under the circumstance.

early is good
I went through 3 months chemo......My neck tumour shrunk in 48 hours.Then they zap the area with radiation ......Amazing advances in treatment over the last few years.And the Macmillan nurses who dish it out are meticulous.He'll be in good hands.

I was EXACTLY the same....tell him this-- on the second breath of gas,before he exhales he's magically back on the ward.
that's how quick and painless it is. :D
