Well, andy's dad was back in Leicester yesterday to meet with his surgeon. Everything went well with the operation and his back is healing well - the surgeon advised that the tumour they removed showed that he has lymphoma (which is cancer of the lymphatic system) and he will be referred to a haematologist to discuss treatment. It is most likely that this will be radiotherapy, given the local nature of the tumour. There are no secondary tumours and the orginal one hasn't spread so that's great news.
So, the focus is back on gaining strength in his legs and getting back to walking. He is having some trouble with his balance at the moment - his brain isn't talking so well to his ankles! But the physio (Stefan the scot!) is a genius apparently so all is looking well.
Still no idea when he will be home though.... as always, small steps!!
