Wow, I didn't expect to win anything but thanks to everyone!
You know you've made it in the Triples Club when the Presidente affectionately calls you "An Old Puff"
Thanks again for all your kind messages.

I thought I didn't word it very well! Unfortunately, I will never be given the "All Clear" as once the lymph nodes are involved, it's just a case of managing the disease. The good news is that the tumours have responded to treatment very well. I am pretty lucky as the type of tumours I have - carcinoid goblet cell - only 25% actually respond to treatment. It will get me one day but I aim to make it a long way off yet.
I have one of the best Oncologists in the UK looking after me and the Macmillan Team at Yeovil & Tauton are very professional and nice to boot. As long as I keep eating healthy food and get out each day and do something, I will outlast some of you old buggers!!
Anyhow, I have to win the C3 Class each year just to piss Betty off.
