Perhaps a little less bleak?

Neck lymph node biopsies did not show cancer, so that's a good thing. Makes the beast stage 3 rather than 4.

Still a long, hard road ahead.

But chances of survival have doubled. And there's talk of enough stalling to at least get measurable years out of treatment.

So we'll look for the rainbow and say yay?

I mean yes, yay.

But still.

Cancer sucks.
