Prudence, if you were nearby, I'd buy you a kaki gori.

Is that like if you had two dead mice you'd give me one?

Dang my family could use a Disney fix about now.

I know that's how we work it out. Always makes us feel better!

He made an appointment with the specialist. No openings until September 18, and he still might cancel depending on what his doc and the specialist at the Swedish Cancer Institute say, but at least it's on the books. And he's going to see at least one specialist.

Tomorrow we may learn more; he's meeting with his doc to go over the MRI. Might get more info on the timeline - how long can he wait, etc...

My thoughts are with him. I hope all goes well.

Kevin just called. The MRI showed the tumor is entirly self-contained and sitting right under the skin, on top of the muscle. No tendrils, no spreading. The surgeon can just pop it out.

This is unlike the first time he had this tumor, and totally not what they were expecting. It's not how this sort of tumor usually works.

I'm going to go be flabbergasted and thankful and all flavors of relieved now.

Huzzah! I think the tumor knew who it was up against and gave up.

Think of it as a really bad zit.

Wahoooo!

Well, now this just makes my day to hear this!

Envision me doing the Snoopy dance! (Hey, we need an icon for that, seriously)
