I have just got back from taking my mother to the oncologist… For her 6 monthly checkup. Generally the results were good, except that her spleen was slightly enlarged. This is normally because of a virus, but might be related to the cancer she had a couple of years back. So now she has a CT scan in a few days and we see how things go from there. Not the best news, but the oncologist could not find any other problems so she is hopeful that this is just a false alarm. We should know more in a weeks time.

Whilst I was out I dropped into The Warehouse, when I was there I saw a ‘BoomBox’ for sale – and i was quite impressed by it. Unusually, this one had a video screen on the front, and it looked fantastic. I guess this is the ultimate kids accessory.
