I'm sorry about all this Oz, but isn't that great your Dr is optimistic!
I think R2C was also kissing your cancer's butt.
I think you should have not said anything further about your C, other than you and your medical team have got it under control and have a plan of action. Like I said, I reckon she now sees it as a huge inconvenience.
Mate, stop rubbing her back. Stop touching her altogether. Stick a bloody rubber band on your wrist and every time you go to touch her, flick that thing against your skin.
You've got this mate. Keep your chin up!
Regds, D
