Kidney Follow-up

Mr. Fixit had his post-op appointment with the kidney surgeon yesterday. He said Mr. Fixit was progressing well.

When he told us on the first visit that 93% of kidney tumors were malignant, I was hoping that Mr. Fixit would be one of the 7%. Someone has to be in that 7%, right? Why couldn’t it be him? It was not to be. Not only was it bigger than we had thought, it was cancer.

At least, it’s gone and they saw no indication that it had spread into other parts of the abdomen.

We still have to see about the lungs. We have an appointment with that doctor this coming Friday.

I think Mr. Fixit is handling it as well as anyone could. When he was in pain, he was depressed, but that is to be expected. It’s difficult to put on a happy face when you are hurting and facing the unknown.

We have been going out a little. I think that helps him, too. At least the weather is co-operating. It was in the 70’s today.
