I had an oncologist's appointment today the first for 8 weeks. I haven't had a scan or anything so I wasn't expecting any news just a chat and an update on what's coming next. The plan is to scan me in three weeks (just before we go away). This will be six weeks from the radiotherapy ending and will give time for the radiotherapy 'burn' to die down. Dr Bulusu is planning to give me the results on the same day. All being well nothing nasty will be growing and I'll have August off. In September they are planning another 12 weeks of chemo but only the tablet kind which is quite tame really. Thereafter it will just be a wait and see game - if anything rears it's ugly head they blast it - let's hope not! Please Lord!
We are off to the MAYC (Methodist Association Of Youth Clubs) weekend festival at Cliff College in Derbyshire next weekend and taking some of the XLR8 youth group. Should be great, there's a great line up of Christian bands, creative worship and some mad workshops. All we need is sunshine which this summer might be over hopeful!
Not long now till Amy comes home from Hillsong Australia - 25th July. We are really looking forward to seeing her and showing her (and James in October) their new house and car. Not long till the wedding now, the RSVPs are flooding in.
In recent weeks at the youth group we've been looking at sharing our faith and this week we have an outreach event for young people all themed around chocolate (should be a winner). All I need to finish my prep is the right kind of chocolate for the fountain - anyone know where you could buy it in Bedford? I have found a recipe to make it myself but it might be dodgy. I let you know if I come up trumps tomorrow.
I've got a meeting tomorrow morning with a audio/visual specialist at chapel. Like most lively churches all our songs are projected through PowerPoint but our projector has just about warn out. We're looking to have a permanent one fixed to the ceiling, we're getting the experts in though this time; hopefully they can also cure our buzzing p.a.
Think that's all the news for now, hope you guys are all well.
God bless and looking forward to seeing all 77 of you plus partners and family at Race for Life soon.
God Bless
Dave

Ohhhhh pheeeew! Was getting worried when you did not post for so long. I should have known you would be out and about being busy!!
Good to hear you are busy enjoying yourself doing the things you love to do; helping others and supporting your lovely church. I wish I lived in Bedford so I could join in - the community spirit there sounds great.
I bet there will be big celebrations on the 25th July when Amy comes home - excellent! Have fun! x
Evening, glad to hear you are doing so well. Keep it up Kyles
