I have found that following the rules during this journey is a very good policy.

| Twenty One days post-op |
The Discharge Summary that we received on June 30 contained instructions for care of wounds, antibiotic cycle completion, and “visit” with my family doctor. “Nurse Farris” has managed the list and made sure we observed all the rules. The family doctor “visit” was conducted by phone. Our family doctor echoed the expression from the surgeon that things had gone very well. He read the “pathology report” to us. It indicated that cancer cells were not found in the tissues, other than the tumour, taken during surgery for biopsy. This is a very welcome report. I have some sutures to be removed in the next few days. My family doctor will come to our home to remove them. He decided that this was the best procedure while we are still self isolating in the Covid 19 times. Everyday I am getting stronger and feeling more like myself. I am thankful to God and the support of family and friends as I went from pre-op to post-op. The last item on the Discharge Summary is a “phone visit” from the surgeon scheduled for the 21st of July.
