Latest update
Message from Heather 22 June 2016
Hi everyone, I just wanted to give you an update as Mike is now back in NZ. He arrived at the beginning of this month following his latest treatment in Germany. His treatment is on-going but the times between treatments will lengthen as long as the scans remain clear. His next treatment is not for another 3 months so he decided to head back home to catch up with family and friends and his doctors in Christchurch. They were very interested to see how Mike was doing. As Mike has not yet completed his oral chemotherapy they were unable to do a follow up scan but will do this in another 2 months when he has completed that course.
In the meantime I am happy to report that Mike is feeling so well that he is keen to get a job. Great news!!!
For now he is at home with us while he is job hunting and we are enjoying having him home again and so thankful to everyone that has made this possible.
To have our son happy and smiling again is priceless. THANK YOU
Also just to let you know this page will be closing down soon and we will continue to post updates on Mike's "Flight for Life" facebook page.
