Excellent, but also interesting that the routine gap in the UK is three years, as it is two in Australia.
As a beneficiary of a routine mammogram which found a cancer before I could feel it, I’m quite happy to be prodded and squished regularly. I’ve still got two more annual ones before I’m back in the normal cycle.
I am brand new to the site and thought the best way to start would be to express my love and gratitude to our heavenly Father for his help in our fight with both prostate and skin cancer.
I currently have a facial scar that scares little children. It also scares me when I shave, but the skin cancer is gone. Two years ago I had my prostate removed and despite persistent worries about spread, the latest scan, in May 2026, was clear. It is a strange journey having cancer but it has taught me just how wonderful our Lord is and how true it is that he is with us in every place we go!

These folks are helpful if you are coming to terms with a visible difference.
Givin thanks that yesterday I was told the moon boot and crutches I’ve needed for the past 8 weeks could be discarded! Most delighted that I no longer have to wear the heavy boot in bed! Of course, today the foot is a bit sore, but still giving thanks.
Saw the cardiologist yesterday after BP tests and an ECG. He and his team still puzzled, but pleased with my progress and that I'm feeling better with a bit more energy.. Inevitably he wanted another blood test, but signed me off for 'four months'.
Thank you, Lord.
Now awaiting oncology report (six-eight weeks for results) and better news about Miss RR's 'BiG D) episode, but very grateful to our dear Lord, my beloved Mrs RR (and praying shipmates) for all my blessings.

If I've offered a prayer of thanks here before for this, I can't find it. Thank you Lord for L_, our (temporary? who knows) professional, Christian, organist. I don't know if our small, elderley congregation can afford this, but he's brilliant. Today we got an 'outro' (voluntary) improvisation based on a hymn / folk tune, and when I stayed to thank him he ended up giving me a short intro lecture on music history. He's a young guy, and seems a lovely bloke. I hope he enjoys his time with us.
Back from brief holiday with Mrs RR (now also in her eighth decade) to find letter from the consultant. No colorectal cancer was detected in any of my recent examinations. Hurrah!

Brilliant RR. (Have you heard the one about the town near here - Bury, Lancs - where those tests are unreliable? They eat that much black pudding... :-) ).
I was prayed for at. a healing communion service yesterday and today my clawed fingers are more or less straight, I can raise my “bad “ arm independently and I can hold and use. a fork . I still have a long way to go but I now have hope that I will indeed receive healing of the MS in the land of the living.🙂

In Scotland it's every three years from 50 to 70. As I've only been back here since 2020, this is only the second one I've had.

Alleluia! Continued prayers for you both!
Good to read this RR - PTL.
That's too flippant - we're very, very lucky.
YES!!!

So pleased!
Awesome!! ❤️🕯
