Husband coming home tomorrow
Finally, after many tests and scans and opinions, my husband had his liver cancer surgery and is due for discharge tomorrow. After nearly 5 hours in the OR, his surgeon was pleased that 'they got the job done.' Clean though tight margins because of an already diseased liver, he can hopefully put this chapter behind him. We were lucky that this malignant tumor was picked up very early thanks to a portfolio of imaging and tests.
So now, he's joining our 3-year old grand-daughter Cassandra in beating the odds (she had a successful transplant due to a very aggressive liver cancer that totally wasted the organ).
Liver Cancer is Us but it hasn't beaten us yet.
Hallelujah!

My husband absolutely dreaded this surgery but he appears to be in pretty good spirits. And that's important.
Now, it's all about healing and recovery. I think I can handle that part.
We had a hiccup in that he had a slight temp this morning. But because it was just under 100 degrees, they sprung him. Had to run out and buy a decent thermometer just in case it goes any higher. He's home, sore and worn out. But at least he's home.
Let the healing begin!
Yup. It's been an interesting year, a little too interesting.
