[foxinsocks]

I can't remember who it is (can't find the old thread) but was wondering how everything was going

Think it was sunchowder.....but not positive.

bump in case sunchowder is about

oh thanks fio (and earlybird)

I have her email, I will let her know you are asking.

thanks

I couldn't find her email, I've tried to do it by memory so I hope I got it right.

No, it's bounced back.

I'll keep looking for it later on.

Found it.

Thanks so much Fox and everyone! They believe they have removed all of the cancer which is wonderful. We go back at 4:00 today (our time) to see if the skin graft is taking or if they will need to re-do the graft. It looks to me as it is healing nicely, but let's see what the surgeon says. I promise to update you and thanks so much for thinking of us. It turned out to be squamous cell cancer and not a melanoma so we were relieved (not that any cancer is goo, but at least they believe they got it all out). He's got a big divet on the side of his nose as they had to remove all the cartlidge, but he is still quite good looking anyway!!

good luck for today. I hope it goes well! What an ordeal to go through.

Thanks again, it was very scarey and then I stayed for the surgery and was quite wobbly myself for a couple of days. He had to have smelling salts when they removed it to biopsy it--he never does well with blood and needles for some reason. Thank you for your kind thoughts. I will update as soon as we know.

We got the all clear on the cancer for now, so we are relieved! There is what they call a defect (small hole) as it is healing. He might have to have more plastic surgery in about 6 months. For now I am so relieved it is over. Thanks again for all your kind thoughts and wishes.

Yay! so no more meddling for 6 months - what a relief!

Yes, thank GOD.
