Andrew's Health Issues (continued)

 Dear Patient readers,

 This will surely be my last health posting combined with a message of goodwill for the new year 2025 almost upon us. 

 Happily I can report that after a year of treatment I am fully restored to health.  I thank our medical system and those many involved.  If I were religious I would thank the deity as well. 

 I still have a diagnosis of follicular lymphoma (the most common type) which began in 2003 and while this is very treatable it is incurable.   So like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or Parkinson’s Disease this is a controllable, treatable condition and mine is extremely slow growing according to my St Vincent’s doctors.  So we cross fingers for a long remission. 

 Thanks to all of you who have been in touch, the support has been very important to me so I am very grateful. 

 Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and/or a Happy and Prosperous New Year. 

 Andrew Byrne ..
