Another bit of 'rough road' coming up...

The results of the latest CT scan was a 'good news, bad news' story. Good news - the tumors being targeted have shrunk, and are quite a bit smaller. Bad news - the cancer is confirmed as an 'aggressive cancer' and has spread to the lungs. These are still tiny growths, but its a bit of a worry that they are there at all. So a new round of heavy-duty chemo treatment is planned, timing to be confirmed. Those who have been there have told me I'm in this for the long haul - i hope they're right! So as part of the journey, consider this a patch of rough road with a few pot-holes - but there's smooth road ahead!
 Just returned from a fleeting visit to Chch to catch up with travelling friends and family - if they can repair this city, restoring me to full health should be no problem! Right now I'm sussing out alternative treaments to complement my new diet and health supplement regime and help the healing process.
Will and Kate are done and dusted, Breakers rule, and the Blues are the No 1 NZ rugby team. All is right with the world!

  1. Sorry to hear about the speed bumps Muzza, stay strong. Good to see you today even though it was for a short time only. Keen to read your book, how big is the section on Pauanui in the early 90's?

  3. Thanks for the update but we are so sorry that the road ahead will still have some potholes. We strongly recommend 4WD faith so you can keep moving ahead at a steady pace.

    We are still with you both in prayer - and faith that is not only 4WD - we have chains on the wheels too!

  4. Hi Uncle Murray,

    I love Susan's 4WD faith remark! Those Blues are looking very good. Still with you on the ride to recovery through the rough and smooth. Much prayers, love, and thoughts with you guys.

    Love Brad, Coral, Eva, and Stella x x x

    PS - I'm sure the book will be awesome, are you drawing the illustrations?
