One week later

and we've come a long way! Its amazing how well the recovery process is progressing. Today the sutures were removed at the Urologist's office. His incisions are healing and he can now drive, but its still another two weeks before he is "supposed" to swing a golf club. So far he has behaved and only putted...
The Urologist also had the pathology report and he shared the results with my mom, dad and Jacquie (by the way, we've had another change in sisters, Sandi is gone and Jacquie is there now until next Wednesday). Things were pretty much as expected. The report did confirm that the tumor was confined to the kidney, which is good news. Having said that, and knowing that the cancer had already moved to his skull, we aren't exactly sure what that means. So that's one of several questions on the list for the oncologist. As previously mentioned, that appointment is scheduled for Tuesday. Another big day coming up is the MRI on Monday and we'll be anxious to hear how much the skull tumor has shrunk.
Thanks for checking in, and we'll be sure to provide an update as soon as we know more!
