Genostics - the new name in Cancer treatment

We wont bore you with the detail, but I've just had a Genostics test done, which basically is a blood test that gets flown to Greece for analysis (no kidding!)  and comes back with pages of highly technical 'med-speak' that lets you know what chemo, if any you should be having. Very cool! My tests have just come back, and show a very good result considering I was grade 4 when I was diagnosed, which in laymans terms means the cancer was very advanced. So I'm confident when I come back from my Oz jaunt in the outback I have the info I need to make a good decision on any further treament.
Its been great this week to have had  the opportunity to spend time with some of the wider family, a few old friends, and some not not so old, all who have been a great help and support in my 'cancer journey'. We even had the PM John Key come and speak to our Mens  Group at Church last week - now that was a blast!
My book is almost done (thanks again to Terry for all his hard work) and my first Childrens Book should be ready for print by the time I get back. Move over Dr Seuss!
Only a couple of days now to countdown time, and we hit Perth, then the outback. Blog time will be nil when we loose communications - but I'll do my best to keep you in the loop. Keep the faith, keep praying, and together we'll see this through. In my eyes, you're all winners!
