Going Home

What a roller coaster.

I'll update more tomorrow, but I have about ten minutes before the library I'm at closes, so I'll make this brief. Today we met with the surgeon. We had another ultrasound done yesterday afternoon, and it showed that the lymph nodes were normal. So on the other u/s done in Sioux Falls, C's lymph nodes may have been swollen due to a viral infection or something else. This is great news.

They will take a look at the biopsy slides from the biopsy in Pierre. Since there seems to be no lymph involvement, though, we are back to having a good possibility that this may not be cancer. Either way, the surgeon will not be able to get him in until Feb., so we can go home right now.

I'll have more details when I get home, but at this point, we have a little more hope that this may be benign, and we are elated.
