the gas hasn't worked since February, shaney, but I haven't wanted to get it sorted because I wasn't sure OH was up to having workmen in the house. We'll probably have to now, though.
OH has been sort of cleared by the hospital, who are very pleased with progress, but is going to have to have some chemo. They're confident that they got the tumour out and apparently it was good all round the outside though mildly dodgy within (I can't envisage any of this), and they want to ensure it doesn't recur. So the treatment will be prevention rather than cure, and therefore probably not so bad, not necessarily involving hair loss etc. Well, let's hope so. They weren't so anxious that they wanted to start immediately; it'll be some time next month.
