girls night in

Sorry for the delay between posts these days.  I guess avoiding writing is my way of trying not to think to hard about the situation.  But - reality sets in.

As noted in the last post - we had two very different surgeon opinions.  We had said to Dr. C (surgeon #1 - who did the December 17th surgery) that we would want another opinion.  He had referred us to a Dr. A at Vancouver General - but Dr. A ended up passing us on to Dr. T.  Dr. T also works out of Vancouver General and is another one of the surgeons who works with the cancer clinic.  We have heard his name before (from the support group and our oncologist).  He is known to be more aggressive in his treatment.  We meet with him on Thursday - and expect his opinion to be more in line with Dr. L - the second surgeon.

We are still leaning towards surgery.  Dr. L is off for spring break - so we are guessing it will be an early April surgery.  That means - 6 weeks to recover from that, then a month and half of radiation - and then Stefan will probably sleep through the summer to recover from radiation - fun!

Stefan is frustrated and antsy these days.  If you have time to shoot him an email - it will give him something to do!

He had a busy weekend though.  He had an English cousin in town from Australia who he saw Friday night.  Then two of his best buds had him Saturday night.  One of them drove in from Salmon Arm - and is currently making the trek back along the long route to try to avoid the snow storms! 

So - while Stefan was out (my first night away from Stefan since he got home from the hospital) - Charlotte and I had a girls night in - which means she slept while I cuddled up with the couch, a movie and plate of nachos. 

Woke up to the beautiful blanket of snow!!!  We just got back from a walk - and Stefan and I will start watching the (delayed) Oscars once Charlotte's in bed.

Stay tuned - we have support group Wednesday and the appointment Thursday - will keep you posted!
