On Wednesday of this week, Dan and I traveled to Utah for his 6 week check up with his doctor. My mother in law stayed home with the kids while we drove there and back in one day again. This trip without kids is pretty easy for us now! Especially since Dan is getting better.
He reported to his doctor that he is not in much pain when doing light-medium activity and that he has been working about 15-20 hours a week. Dan is not on a low fat diet anymore, and according to the doctors he is doing perfect for his recovery. Right on schedule. His biggest hurdle right now and desire is trying to get his energy up to normal (what's that anymore anyway?) and working full time and helping our family out at home.
He had blood work done also on Wednesday and we got a call from them on Thursday that his cancer marker levels were all normal! We were kinda expecting that since his biggest type of Cancer was Teretoma and that doesn't elevate the tumor markers. So that means he still doesn't need Chemo and getting better is the goal and plan. We will go for another appointment in July for a CT scan of his abdomen and a chest x-ray, and blood work. After that, the plan is to have blood drawn and a chest x-ray done every 2-4 months for the first year of recovery.
Thank you to all of you who have still supported us financially, have brought in meals, have helped me with my kids, and continued to pray for Dan!
