they've caught it early

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.

That's too bad.
I've had my share of illness too. I've recovered from the pits of hell. You never know. I hope the best for him.

I'm one of those people who hates to hear the phrase "good morning".
But even with the power out for the last 8 hours, and having only a couple of hours of sleep, this is one of the first days in years when I honestly am walking around saying good morning.
