Dodged a bullet?
Well, it seems that my brother (who was hauled into hospital last month) may be, if not exactly out of the woods, at least on their borders.
The lump that was obstructing his bowel has turned out to have been malignant, but there are no signs of the cancer having spread into the lymph nodes and they're pretty sure they excised all the affected tissue. So - he's being put on watch and it's been suggested that a short course of relatively minor chemo could help with his long-term prospects.
Fingers crossed!
