Keep holding on, my friend. Remember that there are people who love and care for you. Please be sure to talk to your doctor early on Monday--don't wait until your appointment. I called you earlier and left a message. I hope you are out getting a little fresh air to help chase away the pain.
Tell Rod what everyone here tells anyone who is worried about a spot or scan...it isn't cancer until a biopsy says it is cancer. I know he has been through so much. And, it is always going to be a worry that it has or will come back. Please try to give him some things to be hopeful about--he's getting his teeth soon! That is amazing! There are the children in his life and his beautiful daughters. He has a beautiful and amazingly wonderful wife. And, he will have the chance to pay me back for all the whacks to the head I've been telling you to give him for me! He won't want to miss my visit! I'm sure he'd like to give me some whacks to the head. It would probably do me some good!
If it turns out to be something...then you two will deal with it with the love and support of your OCF family, and other friends and family. There are plenty of people here who have been through the recurrence tunnel and have come out the other side as survivors. Rod can too. But, try not to let your mind go there. Remember, no one has looked at any cells. So, it isn't cancer yet.
Love ya!
Sandy
