Coming Home!

Vic got the okay from his doctors and we're coming home tomorrow via train. The doctors prefer that we take the train (although, an added expense) as it will only be a 2 hour ride and Vic can get up and walk around the train to avoid any issues with blood clots that could happen in a car ride. The "hole" in his belly is not infected and there should be no problem with it healing normally but it will take longer to heal than the rest of the incision. We have to come back in two weeks to have the staples removed and then again the first week of June to have his "filter" removed. We were given a copy of the surgeon's report with a copy to give to Vic's oncologist in Morristown. The report didn't include the pathology report or the chemical treatment report, which should be available when we return to Baltimore. I'll let everyone know how we made it home and I will be updating this blog from time to time as things change.

Once again, Victor and I would like to express our gratitude for all of your concerns, prayers and good wishes. God Bless you All!
