A New Page

A few weeks ago, I was anxious to be where I am today. I write this post to you in our clean new living room, a dog curled up at my feet, and a weight lifted off my shoulders.

The Doctor’s Verdict

We’re overjoyed to share that the cancer is GONE, leaving behind a nodule in Andrew’s lung that measures at normal levels, hasn’t significantly grown, and is not currently cancerous.

We’ve been given a couple of options moving forward. We’ll be monitoring his cancer levels no matter what we choose. We’re scheduling a meeting to learn more about the potential benefits and drawbacks of zapping this nodule with radiation to dramatically increase the odds it won’t ever be cancerous. It sounds like a great option but we’re going to talk to radiology before deciding. The other two options were Do Nothing or Surgically Remove. We’re unlikely to choose surgery at this point.

Andrew gets to go to this cool meeting they call “Survivorship”. I have no idea what it is, but I’m thankful we get to be at this point. Survivorship sounds much less scary than some of the previous unknowns.

This is not our last blog post, but it may be the shortest! Thanks for your continued prayers. More to come.
