Stable to Improving

My official Scan Results Day isn't until tomorrow, but Dr. Z leaked the story tonight. "Stable to improving" was the headline. That's right, despite my intuition to the contrary, things inside are looking up. And that's not the only reason that today was a very good day. 

I also had a little surgery today. Next door neighbor Keith did the honors, removing a lump from under my underarm. It's not uncommon for colon cancer to deposit itself just under the skin, although biopsy results are still pending. But the surgery went well, and it removed a very annoying and constant reminder of the disease I've been battling for 3 years now, 9 if you go all the way back to my initial diagnosis. 

Muchos gracias to my taxi drivers Danny and David who brought me to and fro, respectively. 

Stable to improving = Music to my ears
