Got some more good news. Pathology results are back, not perfect, but pretty good. Cancer isolated to one lymph node, the tumor had grown slightly out of the lymph node. This means that I have to have radiation therapy in six weeks (once the wounds healed) to make sure no cells have been left behind.Dr Phil (the oncologist) is happy with this result apparently survival is better if you have less lymph nodes involved.Recovering well. Got one drain removed yesterday waiting to see if the other one can come out today. If I get it out I should be home tomorrow. Might be able to go for a ride on the weekend, (got to get back to training and racing to try and stop them Warragul blokes from winning our club races, only joking WCC).
Peoples responses still never cease to amaze me, so many people who I have lost contact with have called or popped in just to let me know they are thinking of me and my family, its amazing and really reminds me I know some great people.
GREAT NEWS!
