Racing for news that could alter everything, Kayla and Alex step away to take the call with her US doctor.

Well, the consultation goes on, Kayla with Alex by her side, talking to her oncologist in New York.I'm anxious, so it must be excruciating for them.So much rests on this one appointment.A family's future, Kayla's future, everything's crossed.

Finally, after an unbearable wait, the verdict.

It's working.

Yay!Oh, so anxious.Good on you, mate.That's fantastic.Fantastic.What did the doctors tell you?

Oh my God.One of the tumours has gone from about seven centimetres to one centimetre.One is stable and I think the other has gone from four centimetres to one centimetre and no disease anywhere else.

And all these wonderful words, unremarkable, unremarkable, unremarkable, unremarkable.Kidneys, adrenals, pancreas, spleen.That's fantastic.Unremarkable is a really good word, I would imagine.

Yes.
