Thanks, Gloria. I am trying to focus on the positive this weekend. He has improved significantly this weekend in both eating and speaking, and he has no pain from the surgery.

We will see what the pathology report says and, if it is not clean, what the next steps are. I'm still holding out hope for a long term remission, if not a cure.

Either way, we are going to take the vacation trip we have planned for the third week in December!
