Dear Beloveds- should have posted this sooner but again, as usual, too busy running around having a good time- I won't be posting any more updates for a while(probably not till the summer when I'll have surgery to "re-attach" me (Yay!!!) My post-surgical pathology report was excellent, showing no signs of any cancer. 8 lymph nodes were tested and all negative. I've started a regimen of post-surgical chemo which should continue for a few months and hopefully make it very difficult for the the cancer to return or spread. In short, the outcome looks very positive and I'm a lucky man. Again I thank all of you for your love and support. You've all been an important part of my recovery. Love you all. Ivan
