Hello, dear friends!
Tom had his stitches removed today - - very neat sewing job on a very long incision.
The Good News is that of the 55 lymph nodes removed, NONE showed any viable signs of disease!
We are so incredibly happy today and so looking forward to a truly joyous Christmas. The scope showed considerable swelling which is the reason his voice is still 'harsh' and eating is still difficult, but we can be patient. The swelling of his neck is not attractive, but we can wait that out, too!
Thank you all on this board. Brian, as soon as the year-end bonus hits my paycheck, I'll be sending the Foundation a well-deserved gift.
The support and prayers found here amaze and humble us and we shall be ever grateful to all of you.
God is good.
Love,
Nicki and Tom

Next check up Feb 1....wow, over a month with NO doctor visits!!!!!
