I really dropped the ball on these regular checks last year. But I'm determined to get back on track this year. However, by the time I organised an MRI and a consultation with Dr David Walker it was eighteen months since my last check in March 2024!
Luckily, the images have come up clear once again. It is now more than 16 years tumour-free. Phew!
