Surgeon's report

Today was a rough day as I went to radiation, came home, took a shower, ate breakfast and then went to work. I can honestly say I am exhausted. When I got home at 3:30 Patti told me that Heather had just gotten into an accident. She and the boys were not hurt but the car did get some damage. I went up to Elyria to get her and the boys. The car was drivable so she followed me to her house. I came back home to a nice dinner provided by Joan and Herb Hutter. Problem was I almost fell asleep twice while eating. (I have dozed off several times while trying to type this so I will make it short) The best news of the day was the surgeon, Dr. Jeremy Beaurdox called me to tell me that they got all the cancer on my back as confirmed by the biopsy and that I can keep my thumb. They feel that the dark lines that come and go in my thumb are bloodlines and although they suspected it to be melanoma, they feel that got all the area of concern with the biopsy. He also told me that although no one did a biopsy on the brown tissue they found under my arm originally, that the dermatology staff feels that was more than likely the source and it is gone now. If only we could prove that it would drop me down a stage. Right now it doesn't matter, as I know God has guided the surgeon to remove all the cancer in me. Now I am just on a maintenance program just in case there are any of the little buggers floating around. My tan just keeps getting darker and my hair on my chest continues to wind up on the shower floor. Oh well, we still must thank God for the big and little things he does for us everyday. God bless you all for your prayers and support. We have a Great God.
