I walked to and from the hospital today.
It was a beautiful fall day, bright, sunny and crisp. I walked 13Km, took me about 80 minutes each way, so 160 minutes or two hous and forty minutes walking. I'll be wanting a hot bath tonight :)
My back is healing, slowly but the doctor is letting me get back on the bike!!
Cheers!

Getting There...
Well I'm finally getting back on track, caught a cold, of course, but in general, my incision is feeling at about 85%.
By the end of the week I expect to be near 100% and by the end of next week I should be back in the saddle. When I asked the docs about when I can resume biking, running, and lifting, he told me to use my head and I will know when I'm ready. I'm being cautious but I'm also very eager to get back at it!
Cheers!

I got some good news, some great news and some....... "I dunno"news...
The good news is I got my stitches out today!
What a relief they were starting to hurt, as my incision was healing over them, and as I would move they would hurt.
The great news I got was a confirmation that the biopsy on the lymph nodes shows negative, that is no spreading at all of any cancer outside of the malignant melanoma that was removed!
The "I dunno news" is that they want me to do a treatment with interferon, this will be 10 days a month for three months, daily injections. I think the doctor said Interferon Beta injections would be used, the injections are apparently painful, but Emiko tells me to buck up and wear my big boy briefs :)
All in all I'm very pleased, no cancer nothing wrong with the lymph nodes and some extra treatment to double down on not getting another bout of cancer, I'm not complaining!
