Update

Just before New Year's Eve, our landlord called us and told us that they want to move back into this flat, so they are not extending our lease when it expires at the end of February. Me and Helen had already discussed that it could be a good idea to move to Sweden this year, and if we are now anyway going to have the hassle of moving, then we might as well move to Sweden now. So sometime in the middle of March we will be arriving in Sweden :)
We are both very excited about this now, we think it will be good with a change of climate (in more than one way :) and it will be a bit like a new start.
We are planning to live in Lund (or in Malmo as a backup-plan).
If anyone of you who read this knows of someone who is letting out a flat in Lund, from March or April or so, please let me know :)

On the 30th December we met with Helen's oncologist, and he recommended that Helen should have stereotactic radio-surgery to try to kill the tumour. Two weeks later the medical insurance company notified us that they had changed their benefits levels from the 1st of January, and Helen is no longer eligble for this treatment.
So now she is going to have standard radiation therapy instead, starting in a few days, and ending in the end of February, just before we are moving.
Hopefully that will be the last treatment she will need, but we won't know that until she is scanned a few months after the treatment.
