Eff Cancer!

Today Hubby is going in for surgery. Again.

Last week, during his scheduled check up, he told the doctor about a new lump on his neck (it had just appeared the week before). Doctor took a biopsy of it, thinking it was just a clogged saliva gland (Hubby has been having problems with dry mouth). Results came back 90% suspicious (that the cancer has returned) and the doctor wants to remove the lymph nodes. NOW.

Yesterday Hubby had a PET scan. Won’t know the results of that until later today. I really do hope Hubby doesn’t have to go through chemo or radiation. Not after all the work he went through last year and still kind of struggles with today. And why it’s showing up now when his last PET scan (in July) was clear, who knows?
 
Eff Cancer!

So yeah, that’s how our week is going.
 
I’ll keep you posted…

Ef it is right!

He noticed it right away, so hopefully they can take it all out once and for all.

I'm thinking of you, hon. Hang in there.

Thanks, all, for the positive vibes! Hubby came out of surgery fine and now we just have to wait for the pathology reports. Of course, he's got this huge (HUGE) cut across his neck (I like to call him zipper neck), which makes it hard for him to move around easily. He might be able to come home today (Sunday), but we're not pushing it.
