Update and Harrison's operation

Hi all - been a loooong time but here's the latest.

Alison is still doing well. Her most recent scans showed some progression in the tumours in her spine and hip but no growth in the liver which is a good thing. She will start some radiation therapy soon to focus on the bone cancers. Otherwise, she looks great.

Harrison had an upgrade to his heart valve last week. For the past week we've been in Sydney at the hospital with him. He travelled up with Alison on Friday 17 June to be checked in and had the operation on Monday 20 June. They got home just tonight.

Everything went well and they managed to get a large valve in which may mean that he won't need another operation to replace it. Great news!

Annelise is doing fine as usual, getting involved in everything and keeping us all entertained.

I'll post some more when we know more about the radiotherapy.

Best wishes to you all and your family and friends.
