Take that, you stupid cancer!

I went to the hospital with mummy yesterday. The oncololodist did an ultrasound of my tummy and took some blood. The blood results came in today and were good. The calcium was good and the white blood cells were good. The calcium will go up when the tumour comes back and the white blood cells will go down when I had too much chemo. And yeah, she checked out my ass as well. She couldn’t feel anything. That was good.

Then we did the judo thing again. Mum and the loncodomenist put me on the table, shaved my tummy and had a good look on the screen. The lonkomedician said she saw a small swollen lymph node in my tummy, quite close to the major artery. It isn’t big, about 1 centimetre, but it is almost certainly cancer and it will get bigger. She wasn’t sure whether they can remove if it is so close to the artery so she checked with the close-to-the-artery-lymph-node-removal-doctor and he said there would be no problem removing it. Anyway, if during an operation, they come across a really dangerous problem, mum and dad can decide on the spot whether they want to take the risk or not.

The loncomodist said she would prefer to have it removed ASAP while I am still in good condition. She wasn’t sure how mum and dad felt about these oncoming problems and maybe some smaller operations, but the cost would be considerably smaller than my big operation and during the operation recovery time, I don’t need chemo, so it compensates a bit. Mum discussed with dad and they prefer to keep me in good condition so I can enjoy life and recover fast. The lymph node will be removed soon! So everything is looking relatively positive. The only thing going downhill at the moment is mum and dad’s bank account.

But first, we go on holiday to the Ardennes. Mum booked a cabin on the river bank just for me. All we are going to do for a week is walk, swim, sleep, chew and cuddle!

Did you hear that? Walk, swim, sleep, chew and cuddle! 

Take that, you stupid cancer!
