I’ve been delaying on updates as I do because I need to work through my mess of emotions before I can even form words. FIRST: it’s not cancer. Second: his bone is not that sharp, it’s just the image slide that makes it look that way.
Remember that seroma he got removed in November? About a month ago he was hurting again in his stump and once again we went to the ER in case there was an infection or who knows what. They didn’t do any imaging but did blood work and all seemed fine. Went back to prosthetist to get a new socket made since the surgery made his stump smaller and couldn’t wear his leg. Both of us just kept feeling something was amiss, pain was off and on, but we knew his 3 month scans were coming up end of January. Day after MRI we go to get results and the 🤬 seroma is back and almost the same size as before. I immediately emailed the prosthetist and told him to pause the socket making.
Saw the surgeon on Wednesday of last week and there doesn’t seem to be any reason this is happening, bodies just do things.
So, we are waiting for them to schedule surgery for him again, and they will do things a bit differently this time, maybe leave his drain in longer and other sciencey stuff. 💉
In other news, the chemo pills seem to be slowly shrinking his lung nodules, except for one thats not shrinking but also not growing so that’s 🎉
Thank you again my friends and fam for your social-distancing and long distance support, couldn’t do it without you 💝
