Getting Better

Hello all! First off, I want to say thank you to everyone for your cards and phone calls since I have been home, it's nice to know that I have so many family and friends that care. Today I had another visit with my urologist in Winter Park, the same doctor that preformed my first surgery back in June. I was there for the final visit for that surgery, but ended up having the staples removed as well....ouch! All 37 staples were removed with no problem and the doctor was happy with how the incision has healed and says everything looks good. The incision actually looks worse now with all the staples out, although I am sure as the small holes heal, the incision will get better. I am still off work and most likely will be for a few more weeks, I have another appointment at the end of the month for another post op visit.

Next Tuesday I see the oncologist about the next step, I am leaning towards observation over chemo, however, I will have to wait to see what the doctor recommends. After my visit with him and I make a decision I will post another blog. Until then, thanks again to everyone for your support and prayers.
