Welcome back!

His arm is looking good. We recently had a regular doctor’s office visit and got a good report there. The incision on my husband’s arm is not looking infected, swollen or extremely irritated.

These are all good signs. He has not asked for any pain pills in a couple of days. The only time it gets sore now is when he forgets and tries to use it to lift something, or bumps it.

Soon he will be able to get the stitches out, and be able to use his arm again.

Yes, the cancer on his arm is gone. He is however having trouble with the soreness because of the operation.

I am thankful that the operation only took one cut to remove all of the cancer. The pain pills that my husband has are helping with the hurt, but the best way to get the hurt gone is for it to finish healing.

There is some concern in my mind about the things that have been happening lately.

Having to pack, the cancer on my husband, people that we care about getting sick. It is not like I am going to punch cigars into people’s mouths and say congratulations on what has been happening.

I can see people getting excited about babies. This other stuff, though, does wear on you and on the rest of your family.

We finally heard back from the doctor about those things that were removed from my husband. Some good news, some bad.

Spot 1 - cheek bone, no biopsy, but it is healing nicely.
Spot 2 - the back of his neck was a basil cell carcinoma. The doctor will check it again in 3 months.
Spot 3 - the growth on his back was another basil cell carcinoma. When they examined it, they said that it looked as iff it had been completely removed just by getting the biopsy sample.
Spot 4 - the growth on his eyelid was normal skin, just a little tag.
Spot 5 - the sore on his arm proved to be a basil cell carcinoma, but it was slightly different than the others. This type tries to send out roots. The doctor will be performing an operation on the 23rd of this month. It will be a Mose surgery. They will cut, examine it, and if necessary, go back in and cut some more in little slivers until they get clean tissue and there is no more of the cancer. This usually has a 98% cure rate with no returning cancer.

The spot still itches on his arm and sometimes, it even burns. So we will see what happens.

We still haven’t heard from the doctor, yet about those biopsies that were done on my husband on the 26th.

Some of the spots that were biopsied have already healed. The one on his arm that caused the appointment to begin with has not yet healed. That one is trouble and has been trouble for the past year.

The doctor froze it, burned it, and it still is open and not healed. That makes twice that it was frozen by doctors. I don’t know what to think about it.

Well after the other day, my husband was sore and had trouble sitting in our vehicle.

The safety belt made him sit back and his back was sore. We got home and I had to change the bandage right away since the site was leaking. Not enough to worry, or enough to check out life insurance leads.

I checked it out last night and the site was really looking better. It has stopped leaking, and it is not as sore as it had been. He was able to sleep on his back last night. As I put 2 ‘nots’ at the end of my last blog, you know that I am praying the biopsies come back all good, and free from bad stuff.

Well, my husband saw the dermatologist today. The doc immediately started to snip and take biopsy samples.

By time he was done, my husband had a few bandages on him and new instructions on how to take care of the different sites.

In a couple of weeks, we will be hearing from the doctor as to whether or not those things were cancerous or not.

I know that my husband is getting older. I need to think about getting some of the best multivitamin for men for him.

He has had surgery and is now recovering nicely. The pain that he was in is fading and the soreness is getting smaller and smaller. Soon he will not be having pain from the operation and he will be fully recovered.

We are both looking forward to that day will glee. We had both been worried about the operation since it was located in a very person place. He made it through and now is on the downhill side of it.

Well, my husband was supposed to be operated on on December 10th.

It was fouled up. The secretary ‘forgot’ to give all of the information to us. My husband was supposed to stop 2 medicines for a week before the operation, and we were never told of this. Now, he has to go through the cardiologist the day after he was supposed to be operated on and we do not know when the operation will be.

Yes, I am GROWLING HERE. He has to go through unnecessary pain every day that should be ending soon. Instead he will be going through it for at least one week longer. It makes me wonder what else the secretary fouled up.
