28th June - Good News At Last

Dad saw his consultant today and was told some excellent news.....according to the specialist, dad's tumour has not shrunk....it's gone altogether!

This means that his weakness and lack of balance, as well as other symptoms are all due to damage from the steriods and biopsy and therefore will get better with lots of physio. More importantly, without the tumour he won't get any worse so from here on up, the only way is up!

I'm so happy right now, if a little emotional so forgive me for the short message!

This is the best of news!! After all this time with Bill and Harry,
you almost seem like friends even though we have never met,
and your illness made me very sad.

Thanks for letting us know!

Ciao dear Bill (and Catherine),
Fulvia, Verena, Margherita, Federico and I are very happy and hopeful for you. My mother (90th birthday this month!) remembers you very well and she asks me how things are going with your "AMICO INGLESE".
Have you realized that in a couple of years it will be the 100 years anniversary of the great war?
Ok, "TAXI WITH CAUTION" we said in the Control Tower, but with all the caution of this world I and my family would like to imagine a re-enactment in Mogliano Veneto with you (and Catherine or anyone else).
Best wishes for the moment and we hope to have better and better news from you. My gmail address is still working.....CIAO
Rocco
