Rich has taken all the options into consideration and has decided to go with the "check the body religiously" method. He will see his local oncologist and his dermatologist every quarter, he will get scans every six months - rotating between the CT and the PET. Rich is comfortable with his decision and he is in a happy place right now. He is allowed to go back to work. Oh and his scar looks AMAAAAZING! The surgeon sewed him up so nicely that you can hardly tell they cut through a tattoo.
We are in a good place right now :) We are thankful that there was only one cancerous lymph node and not more.
Now we can focus all of our attention on Parker, she's going to be here in a little under three months! And honestly, we cannot wait to meet her. We have classes up the wazoo and still have her nursery to prepare. I am dealing with gestational diabetes; however, I've already lost some weight AND I have started a great exercise program - walking at lunch and then after dinner. Rich joins me on my after dinner walk which is really nice.
This has been a gnarly experience and we know that he isn't completely out of the woods, but for the time being, we are living in this happy little moment.
Happy news is a good thing.
