Hey, Gang,
mrs. exiled & I roll out for Houston & M.D. Anderson Thursday 7/15 for my last cancer surgery (*knocks on wooden head*) The previous surgical scars have almost totally healed, which means it's time for some new ones. Gotta keep up the street cred & all...
Friday 7/16: appt w/ surgeon + anesthesia-related measurements
Sat. & Sun.: massive chilling + twiddling of thumbs in Houston...
Mon. 7/19: surgery @ O-dark-30 to remove this one very small spot of unkonwn origin that keeps lighting up the P.E.T. scans. It's on my rib rt @ the site of a previous cancer surgery two years ago. Nobody's VERY worried about it, but it's there. To quote the surgeon: "whatever it is, it'll be gone..." (when one is a stage IV metastatic melanoma survivor, anything that lights up the P.E.T. scan requires close scrutiny!)
Prolly in the hospital until Wed. & then back home.
If all goes as planned, this won't be a biggie (compared to my previous MDA experiences...). Still, your collective prayers are most welcome & appreciated!
Thanks much!
exiled/Mike
