Hooray! An x-ray on Friday (28th August) showed no further spread of the tumour in my right lung, so I continue with my chemo every two weeks (now by pill) and don't see my specialist again until November. And Roy's cataract surgery on Monday went very well, taking only four hours from the time we left home for the hospital till we got back. He's on drops three times a day for a month and then sees an optician about a new prescription. He can already read much better than he could before the surgery.
Our stair lift is being installed on Thursday and that will deal with the problem of Roy's knees on the stairs. Kate and Chris have been here for the weekend and today we took Roy to Ipswich, where he had a gentle stroll down at the marina (regenerated docks for those who know the area) before lunch at a seafood restaurant.
We're off to Blakeney for our short break on 7th September. When Roy and I used to come to England in September (after Harper's sales conferences in August) we often had glorious weather so let's hope for the same this year.

Fantastic news. Enjoy the lift, and the trip to Blakeney, hope the sun does shine on you all. I hope to drop by one of these days, it is all a bit busy down here, Florian 17 today. lots of love to you both Kate G. xx
It was so good to read the update. I know you will appreciate the lift. Dave has used one for years and it is a lifesaver. I can just picture you on your retreat and wish we could be there with you again. You brought us to so many historical sites when we visited with you. I wish some of the folks in the US would believe what great care you receive in the UK; our health care system could learn so much from you. Love and blessings, Dave and Ruby Englund
