The Rundown

"Have you met my friends Mr. Thunder and Mr. Lightning?" (That's for you Jess).

For those of you who are just finding out Matt was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer. Here is the rundown of events:
Aug. 21 - go to Urgent Care for large, swollen testicle
Aug. 22 - diagnosed with cancerous tumor in right testicle; blood work and chest x-rays done. Lungs clear.
Aug. 24 - visit Dr. Michael Harris, Urologist. Schedule radical orchiectomy (testicle removal) for Sept. 1.
Aug. 28 - three cups of poopy juice and a lower abdonimal catscan....followed by lots of runs
Sept. 1 - THE day...in at 1pm and out by 5pm!! Matt is very entertaining on anesthesia, morphine and vicatin
Sept. 5 - Matt's last day on vicatin!! What a trooper :)
Sept. 18 - follow up blood work (looking for cancer markers)
Sept. 19 - follow up visit with Dr. Harris and told Matt is doing great! referred to oncologist
Sept. 21 - visit oncologist, Dr. Peter Kohler (not the guy who was @ HIllsdale College with me). Cancer markers are down, but still present. Schedule first chemo treatment for Oct. 2.

That's it for now. Those are just the facts...the good stuff is coming up later :)
