I'm back in Wellington now, after having left Jul reluctantly. His surgical wounds are continuing to heal really well. He's discovered that he can swallow apples, sushi and banana successfully, without diarrhoea, so now he's got a chance of building up his strength by eating more solidly. His spirits are pretty good. The arrival of the family on Sunday was good for him. His mother showed warmth and concern without fussing too much, and his father also showed warmth and concern, to the point of almost embracing me! Julian noticed the near-embrace and was impressed. Cecilia, needless to say, was totally on the ball.
Thoughts about the next five years cloud my mind, too, like you. They cloud me more than ever, to be honest. Really, it may only be a matter of one year. We need to be hopeful, but ready for everything. A lot will depend, I think, on what the surgeon and oncologist tell him when they meet him on 24 June and give him the results of the post-surgical biopsy. My fear is that they'll have found cancer in the lymph node.
www.healing.bc.ca/healing_pyramid.shtmlJ and I talked a lot about the pros and cons of him coming back to Wellington for the chemotherapy. No decision yet. He's going to go into his workplace later in the week to talk to them about the possibility of doing at least a few hours, and with luck more, while waiting for chemo. His voice is still a throaty rasp.
Enjoy Japan!!
