Home from the Hospital!
Just 72 hours after surgery, Mark was released from the hospital! He has been anxious to get home because he feels so well. The nurses had orders to keep him in bed or in his chair,but Mark kept getting up when he wanted to change places or go to the bathroom. He is strong and has no pain. And he is so glad to be home. He has very few restrictions.
After his brain heals, at his post-operative visit with his oncologist in about 4 weeks, it is expected that he will resume chemo to destroy any remaining cancer cells. On the schedule he had for the past 3 years, he took high doses of chemo pills for 5 days every 9th week. Soon he will begin a regimen of daily, low-dose chemo pills. He has always tolerated his chemo very well. We pray that he will continue to. We are optimistic about his prognosis.
