Journal entry by Kelly Swindell —
Sorry for the lack of updates - we have been taking it easy the past week with recovery and care.
John has been home for a week and doing really well. Gaining strength, daily walks, stamina is improving. And eating: tomatoes and peaches are in season!
Today, he had his first post-surgery follow-up with the surgeon (we really like him, he has a dry sense of humor but is such a rockstar. And a self-professed "liberal hippie surgeon.") - prognosis is very good, he's very happy John is healing quickly and so well, also pleased with post-op pathology results (good negative margins! clean lymph nodes! tiny liver biopsy benign!)
Next up: John has oncology follow-up next week and post-adjuvent chemo treatment is on the horizon.
The photo is real, the publication was in the waiting room. Colondar! Thank goodness for humor!
Thank you for the continued support and healing love.
