a reprieve for OH, the last scan showed everything still stable. But then a consultation with a different department said some dodgy cells were found when the cyst (it was an impressive 22cm long) was removed a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, they say they're not too worried at the moment, They could perform another major operation to dig everything out, but by the sound of it aren't too sure OH would survive, so they'll leave it for a while.
Not great news but much better than we were fearing all weekend..
