saturday

So because of  abnormal lab values boyfriend could not get clearance for the lobectomy. They did however go ahead and biopsy the two new areas. Both were negative! My understanding, according to one of the doctors is that boyfriend has an 80% chance of survival if the cancer is removed before it has metastasized. So far so good! The lobectomy has been rescheduled for this Wed..

His family left this Friday morning.

We had a nice time with them.

His brother is a funny man. I had fun getting to know him better.

We have no medical appointments this weekend.

We've had medical appointments, including two surgeries almost daily for the past 6 weeks.

It's been exhausting to say the least!

We're both going to quit smoking Monday. 

Today we're going to get some nicotine patches and whatever else we think might help us to be successful in quitting.

If all goes well the plan is for me to quit work for 12 or 18 months this coming April and for us to do some traveling.  That's the plan. We shall see.
