Hello to all you Neil watchers. Now let’s see if I can remember how to do this! As many of you have picked up from Neil’s last blog we found out about 3 weeks ago that a scan had shown up 2 new lumps in the neck, in the same region as the tumour that was taken out in November. As you can imagine this was a real blow for us all, particularly as Neil was making such good progress and beginning to look at returning to work.
He has had the operation today, not as long as before, but still 6 hours, so long enough. It seems to have gone really well. Although he is in ICU, this is likely to only be for tonight. He is bright and perky, he even phoned home at 6.30 and was able to speak to the children. I have been able to see him tonight and he his much more his usual cheerful self, which is a great relief. His arm is still working and apart from a bit of a wonky smile everything else appears to be working normally. It’s still early days, but the consultant can’t see any reason why his recovery shouldn’t be quite quick. I’m not sure how long he will be in hospital, but hopefully only a few days.
So, thanks again go to everyone who is supporting us and in particular all those who have been fasting and praying. A victory for God I’d say! I’m a bit shattered and blogging on the train on the way home from the hospital, looking forward to a better nights sleep. Will blog again soon.
Love Sue x

Thank you Sue for sharing, that’s a blow to say the least, I only spoke with Neil recently about work. I am pleased to hear he is upbeat and I hope you get a good nights rest tonight.

Hi Sue
Thanks for your update on Neil and his operation. Sounds like he has come through really well from the operation. Hope you are managing OK and coping. I don’t know whether you remember me – I was diagnosed the same time as Neil and we kept bumping into you at the various hospitals.
I have an appt with my surgeon in 2 weeks time and hoping all will be OK. Please send my very best wishes to Neil as he recovers and love to you and your family.
Love and best wishes
