Hooray! More positive affirmations! Everything seemed to check out well at our appointment downtown today! Heres a little review of the answers to our most pressing questions.

The swollen areas are probably just inflammation continuing from the surgery. They said it can be quite common. It could also be that the skin wasnt pulled as tightly in some places which could cause it to not be exactly symmetrical. Nothing to worry about.

One thing that we did find out is that Nick will have to get a colonoscopy in May to make sure everything is good there. (Since there is a higher chance of recurrence in his colon than anywhere else other than his peritoneal cavity.)

Another question we had was about the bleeding that Nick is still experiencing. The doc thinks that the reason his incision is taking so long to close up is because the chemotherapy isn't allowing the flesh to grow back as quickly. They said it's nothing to be worried about but that the chemo just affects some people that way.

The best news is that the doc doesn't see any reason why we can't go to Hawaii in April! So, you better bet I'll be booking our tickets tonight. :)

Thanks for all the prayers! You guys rock! Aloha for now...
