My recovery continues slowly but the surgeon is pleased. He told me I should be feeling a lot better in about 3 weeks. That works out pretty well for taking Aaron to college and going to parent orientation.
The disappointing but expected news was that the surgeon and the tumor board both feel I should go through another round of chemo. I will meet with the oncologist on Tuesday and get more information, but it looks like another 4-6 months with a break in the middle for the second surgery.
When the surgeon told me I asked him if he ever remodeled a house. He said yes, why? I told him that is what I feel like, every time I think I am closing in on finishing up I realize I am not half way yet.
For now I am just working on recovering and trying to put back on weight, I have dropped down to 147 lbs, about 10 lbs from the start of surgery, and trying to figure out the new diet. And, thank you, I have received a lot of advice on gaining weight and absolutely no sympathy on that issue.
I will update again after the oncologist. My mind is still a little foggy and I am keeping the Tylenol pumping, hopefully I will be a little clearer.
Thanks again for all the prayers and support.
