Jim, I meant the surgery I had two years ago. I'm 100%, now.

 

Hi all, I had a PM from a nice guy here asking how I am, so thought I’d let you all know I’m doing ok. I still tire easy, but not as quick as a couple weeks ago. Walking about half a mile a day. Good news is that my two docs agree that I am not doing anything but recovering for several months. Will take at least three for my liver to partially regenerate itself, then we have a trip to Croatia. When I get back I’ll have a scan and see if I’m all clear.
Two days before my surgery Jeanne was diagnosed with breast cancer. She’ll have a lumpectomy this coming week, and chances are good that will be it, as it is contained to a duct and should be routine to remove. So I will play support for a while, as she has done since last September.

Remember to have your colonoscopies and mammograms. Preventative measures beats what might come if you don’t watch out for yourselves.

 

Glad to hear you are doing better. I also hope your wife will have a speedy recovery.

 

Yes, glad to hear you are better and hope your wife does well. Just as an FYI...even with lumpectomy they usually take out some lymph nodes to check as a precaution. Also be prepared for perhaps radiation as an insurance policy against a recurrence, even if everything is clear after surgery. Each case is individual, of course.

 

Dean, thanks for the update. Glad to hear that you seem to be doing well.

I hope that things go well for your wife, too. I am glad that you have each other to lean on.

(I faithfully have a mammogram every year. I had one the end of April. It was about 2 months late because it has been recommended to have it either before your first Covid-19 vaccine or 4 to 6 weeks after your second shot because of the possibility of swollen lymph nodes from the vaccine which can be misinterpreted on a mammogram. Unless, of course, there are symptoms. Thankfully, everything was fine. I do have a younger sister who has had breast cancer more than 10 years ago. It was diagnosed on a mammogram in the very early stages and with treatment, she has done very well.)

 

That's good news, Dean, for you and Jeanne. I'm glad to hear you're walking and recovering. I hope Jeanne's surgery is a breeze.

 

Thanks for the update Dean. Hopefully things continue to go in the right direction for both you and your wife.

 

a nice guy? i bet you don't really know him well.

 

Dean, thanks for the update. Sorry to hear about Jeanne's issues. You two are really getting slammed! Hoping for a quick resolution to her issues, and continued recovery on yours!
