> The pathology report came back, and the cancer had spread to exactly ONE
> lymph node.  One's enough to call for Radiation so, after a period of rest
> and recovery, we'll go on to Stage 2 of our battle.
>
> Igor's beginning to be awakened.  His coughing has lessened, he's calm,
and
> his "flap" is healing beautifully.  The plastic surgeon removed the
remainder
> of his stitches this morning and his face is nearly as handsome as ever.
> (Note to Johanna: I trimmed his moustache and cut both sideburns short
> yesterday.)
>
> The cast comes off the left arm tomorrow.   (It covers the wrist where the
> graft was taken for the flap, plus the area of fatty skin taken to cover
the
> wrist.)
>
> There are no immediate plans to move him from ICU, which is fine with me.
> The nurses there are wonderful.  They've pretty much given me the run of
the
> place, and I come and go as I please.
