Round 2

Some more fun with numbers: One year, two months and minus one day since first diagnoses: Dan has been told he has a reoccurrence of cancer.

He's been in the hospital since July 9th (which was one year plus two days since he got out!) because of the presentation of a blood clot in his left leg - one that was seen on a CT Scan June 6th, but missed in following ultrasounds until July 10th. Because of it's size, location, and reason that it came into being (likely due to the thinning of his Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) from the surgery last July), doctors pushed for a PET Scan to confirm if there was a return of cancer before they put Dan into surgery for the clot removal.

Now that we know it is indeed a return of cancer, we're unsure of the next steps. Surgery will no longer be minor, as standard thrombolysis would be a very bad idea when knowing cancer is present.

There's really not a lot we can tell you right now - since Dan in unsure of what's coming himself - but enough family and friends knew he'd been in the hospital for a week, and we wanted to get the update out there for everyone that cares.

Thank you.

AND FUCK YOU CANCER.
