Of course, he had the money to buy the best care!

Follow Up--


Its been not quite 4 months since DH was dx with cancer. He is now officially cancer-free
At the time, it seemed agonizingly long to go from dx, to treatment, to final dx. Looking back, its amazing it all happened in 4 months!


DH was Dx with a kidney tumor on Aug 25. He had surgery to remove it Oct 2, and the follow-up visit, including scans, etc, declared it 95% gone! He will be followed every 6 months for the next 2-3 years with scans to see if the cancer has spread, but at this point he is, essentially, cancer-free
We were just fortunate it was dx at such an early stage--t1-a, and easy to access to remove. We are one of the lucky ones. We have much to be thankful for this holiday season I wish God's Blessings on everyone going down this path that they, too, will find healing. Take care, everyone!
