After one month in the Philippines I was advised that I should return to the UK and get the treatment I need to overcome the NH. Lymphoma. On Oct 27th I arrived back in the UK, 6.30 on a Sunday morning at Manchester Airport. My son Stephen, Anna his wife and my granddaugther Charlotte were there to meet me. They have graciously offered me a place to stay now I'm settling back into the UK. Ruth and Adam will join me in December for the Christmas break and then we will be able to make some long term plans, as you can imagine lots of things are up in the air at present.
I am currently undergoing Chemotherapy at the local Barrow in Furness General hospital. The treatment here is exactly the same as I have received in Kuwait and in the Philippines. On this latest round of treatment I can see a real improvement in my situation. One good thing here is that instead of going into hospital for three days of Chemo I can do most of it at home taking the meds orally. Steve and Anna are a real support in all of this.
One thing which is a real shock to the system is the cold damp weather. It is 15 years since I was in England for the winter and it takes some getting use to.
I trust that all of you are enjoying good health and looking forward to the Christmas season. Let us never forget the 'reason for the season'. Remember to keep in touch, I love to hear from you all from time to time. so leave a message or send me an email.

Great to read your blog. I guess all the pictures are from Kuwait because you are wearing T-shirts! I don't miss the UK winter much except when I think about snow! Lots of love and God Bless You all, Chris W.
