Today's Appointment Update...

Hi!

Very quick update... I have to leave in 9 minutes, and still have to feed the dog and get ready!  Aaaagh!

The appointment went well, not as painful as Rob was anticipating, and quicker than expected!  (To be repeated yearly.)

The specimen was taken and sent to pathology, and we'll find out the results in about 1-1/2 weeks.  If all goes well, we are hoping to enjoy a quiet summer!

Our appointments will resume in September, October, November, December, and well into the new year for the oncologist, surgeon, CT scans, bloodwork...  They're going to keep a close eye on him, as the cancer can flare up, especially within the first 1-2 years.  

The surgeon, at our urging, shared that with Rob's cancer diagnosis, his odds of surviving 5 years are about 20-30 percent.  That's better than what we learned from the National Cancer Institute:  12-15 percent.  We'll take all we can get!

Rob's in good spirits, but still dealing with major headaches most every day now... most likely a side effect from the chemo, so we're told.

Okay, gotta run!

Love to all, and thank you for the enveloping prayers!

In Love and In Peace,

Cheri ♥
