One Year Anniversary: The Pomegranate

Saturday, Oct. 23, 2010: was the one year anniversary of the removal of the pomegranate, and the beginning of the cancer journey - YUCKO.

In theory we should be (we are?!) so happy about where things are (no lumps, no bumps) but honestly the neuropathy has got Matt so turned around, and the fatigue has got him so down, we are really just maintaining for now.

More later towards December...PET scan to come....Bring on the holidays?!

No lumpy-bumpies!

I am doing this on the fly as we are trying to head out for a little fall-camping, but wanted to let everyone know that Matt's annual physical was good and, more importantly, the check up with Doogie was yesterday and it all looks GOOD. Evidently "soft tissues" are a good thing...and Matt has lots of soft tissue in his tonsils, etc.

Doogie was able to confirm however that Matt's thyroid is on the blink - no surprise given it was radiated and then some. This is one of the reasons he (Matt) is struggling with such deep fatigue. He will have to get a prescription to help address - but we will tackle that next week.

Probably will post a photo or two as we come to the anniversary of this blog - geez, it's already been almost one year! More later...
