He is looking well. We have decided to have another discussion with his doctor before proceeding. We want to know what other options he has, not only for diagnosis, and treatment, but for interpretation of the CT and what other tests can be done to determine if the slight growth is within the margin of error for the reading (which it actually is being only a millimeter's growth), or if there is indeed any activity within the cancer itself, or are we looking at inactive tumors?
Enough of that! We are so happy to be back on our shift! Yesterday was an unusually busy Tuesday as many students have this whole week off for what is considered "Ski Week". I had the best conversations over the low end of the Touch Pool with some very charming and inquisitive 3-year-olds. One little girl wanted to know if the Touch Pool made headaches. My honest answer was: only occasionally. Since no one attempted to remove any of the animals for closer exam, to scare a friend, or to taste there were no headaches yesterday.
In bocca al lupo. m & v
Regarding the "growth": smart strategy, a good idea to have that talk with the doc. I admire how you both are living this experience. Role models for us. Thanks, m-e
ReplyDeleteWithout the support of you and other friends we'd be sunk pretty deep. Thank you. m
DeleteSo glad you are both back doing what you love. Sweet post about the headache & the touch pool.
ReplyDeleteThat had to be one of the most enjoyable times I've spent at the Touch Pools. The reason she asked about headaches was because she was picking up an empty barnacle shell from the pool and I cautioned her about just dropping it incase she hit a sea star. She wondered if it could "give it a headache". I said it was quite possible which led to her next question...m:))
