Good News

Del had his post-op appointment today and we got the final pathology report. They were pleased with how well he is healing, all the nasty things that were still in his body came out and the report was good. We are in the clear for now and hopefully for a long time. It was organ contained and had not spread. He will go back for his next check up in three months and then regularly every 3 to 4 months in the first year, every 6 months in the next and so on. He will be able to drive again in a week, is not allowed to lift more than a gallon of milk for another 5 weeks and we will see when he is good and ready to go back to work.

Right now I am very relieved and very tired. The "C"-word will always be a part of our life but hopefully a part that keeps getting smaller with each year that passes.

Take care everyone and women - tell your guy to get a check up, the earlier it is caught, the better.
