We went over to Charlottesville last night, and presented ourselves at the UVA Radiology Dept. at 8:30 this morning, followed by a 9 AM appointment with Ray's lung surgeon. The xray looked good, and according to the pathology report, Ray's cancer was a stage 1 cancer (i.e., they caught it really early), the margins are clear and the lymph nodes show no signs of cancer, so he won't have to do anything else--no radiation, for instance. Hoorah!!
The doctor said that Ray is coming along just fine, and doesn't need to see him again for 6 months.
Ray drove the first part of the trip home, the first time he's driven a car since the day of his surgery on Feb 28. He feels like a free man.
And I feel like a free woman! Now Ray can return to his chores and I can start working on our income taxes. Whoopee!
