Some of you may recall that I was upset that I wasn't given an opportunity
to sit in with my husband when he received his post-op report last July.  At
the time I reported that his margins were clear but that one of the 2 lymph
nodes removed wasn't because that was what I thought he told me.

Months later he said that he didn't say that and that he told me the lymph
nodes were clear so I had him sign a letter to his doctor asking for a copy
of his pathology report.  Anyway, he did that and we received the report.
Anyway, the story is that John's cancer was starting to get beyond the
prostate so the doctor had to cut a wide margin.  The lymph nodes were clear
but the margins weren't.

His doctor repeatedly mentioned his small prostate to try to explain why his
cancer was so spread out but John got tired of hearing that.  Two days
post-op, the doctor came to see John on his morning rounds while we were in
the middle of John's bath (I stayed in the hospital with him).  The doctor
again mentioned that John had a small prostate to which John replied "not
anymore I don't."  I didn't hear any reaction from the doctor but John told
me he blinked when he said that.  John was irritable because he hadn't eaten
yet and was just tired of hearing that.
