I decided to use the blog to let folks know how Ivan is
doing. He was diagnosed with breast cancer last week following a mysterious
lump, and other symptoms. This is such a
rare cancer in men we didn’t expect the outcome to be positive.
Once again we are on
a medical journey and the best plan is to keep family and friends informed via
this blog.
Since Ivan just got diagnosed with breast cancer this week
we really have no idea if we are dealing with something fairly serious, or
something that can be removed with surgery and follow up treatment. It will
take time to get all the answers.
Ivan has a urological appointment at Lions Gate Hospital
next Wed. to remove a stricture near his bladder so that he can be
catheterized. This surgery was not urgent until now, as it is a pre-requisite
to the cancer surgery which will be done locally and very soon.
We intend to keep life as normal as possible under the
circumstances; I have a lot of experience as advocate as we have traveled the
medical road many times during our 21 years.
I thank our family and loving friends for their support,
love and care as we once again embark on a journey with so many possible twists
and turns. As time goes by it will be
less possible for me to reply to many emails but feel free to send thoughts,
ideas and love to Ivan.

We both are feeling optimistic and positive and will take
one day at a time.
Much love Evi and Ivan
