Thanks once again to everyone for the kind wishes, prayers, etc. Tomorrow afternoon we're off to the hospital 50 km (30 miles) away at Chinon for a check-up, three weeks to the day after the surgery. All seems to be fine but it's still nerve-racking. Then, the Thursday after, 08:45 at the same hospital for the herceptin shot.
Meanwhile, Frances has just left for the Martaizé sewing circle (next village over). I feel a bit guilty when people call me her "carer": she takes an awful lot of care of me too, and as she said of herself on the first go-around in 2000, after we went for a 7-mile walk after the first chemo, "It's not as if I'm ill or anything. I've just got cancer." THAT'S how tough she is. I love her incredibly much.
Cheers,
R.

Hi Roger, As you can tell there are a lot of us who have missed your posts. Wishing you and Frances well for the future. I am sure producing some fibre prints will cheer Frances up.

Yes, like others have expressed, your return is welcome, but I’m sorry to hear about Frances; certainly wishing her well.
When I was a newcomer to photography, her reviews in Black & White Magazine (around 2005-2007) perhaps did more to introduce me to the concept of rangefinders, let alone Voigtlander and Leica, than did any other source at the time.
Hope you stick around!

Roger, I have followed you and Frances from way back before this forum I think - way back to early Shutterbug days. I am very glad you have posted here again.
Wishing a complete recovery for Frances and a long life for both of you.

Positive energy to Frances. Been there, it sucks.
And Positive Energy to you Roger. Sometimes I think it's harder on the spouse. I felt so bad for my wife when I was sick, doing everything she could to help, but not being able to "fix it".
Best,
