Finally, we got the call...

Definitely not cancer.

No cancer.

What these weird things might be, the boffins haven't yet figured out, but
they can say for certain that it's not malignant...

That's really all we needed to know. The rest may or may not be academic,
and Keith still has to have some other health checks in his near future
(colonoscopy being the most important) but at least we now have a result we
can trust.

The laboratory will puzzle over the samples for another couple of days;
next week, the academic surgeon who did these tests will be here in Port
Elizabeth and my sister will have a chance to discuss his conclusions if he
has any by then.

I am so relieved, and so grateful...and yet strangely upset still. I guess
it takes a while to revert to complacency. Perhaps we never will completely
and that's probably no bad thing either.
