We just saw Dr Sara Wadge, our internal medicine specialist.
She hopes to schedule Ivan’s mastectomy next week at our local hospital if
the anesthetist agrees. She plans to fast track the process and the
follow up with a visit to the oncologist in Vancouver. She also wants a CT scan Ivan's
liver done a.s.a.p. Ivan feels he is in good hands. (so do I, she is terrific)
Dr. Wadge
acknowledged that Ivan is rather exceptional for his age. She commented on his
resilience following his very difficult quadruple bypass (8 years ago). She
also felt that his swimming routine 3 X a week makes him a great candidate. (Ivan has been swimming regularly for over 10 years)
He is now resting and recuperating after a long hospital
day, a late ferry home, and a morning specialist visit.
We just ate fresh tomatoes, lettuce, carrots and lots more
from his garden!
Life is one day at a time and so far we are doing well.
I thank everyone for the caring emails and hope to post more
details next week.
