It is unfortunately not well with me, the past week I have the scans again, and today I received the result. The cancer spots in my lungs had considerably grown 20/30% and there where new spots. For this reason I start a new cure to try to get it under control. Unfortunately my hair will fall out with this new cure. In short I have a taken a step back. And I’m very sad and in spite of my sister and Roger and the rest of the family, I feel myself very lonely. I’m still a life and going to fight this new situation to try to halt the cancer.

Ben.
