On the same day that I posted my good news about Peter's successful operation to remove his melanoma, he was pretty down in the dumps when we met to go home after work. He'd heard from his best friend, D that afternoon. D was calling to tell Peter that his cancer had returned. He'd had testicular cancer a few years ago and was thought to be in remission. But his last blood test showed that further tests were necessary and having had them he's now been diagnosed with bowel cancer. He'll be having a section of his bowel removed this week and will then need 6-12 months of chemo. He's the same age as Peter, wife, 3 kids (the oldest now a young adult, the youngest a little older than Mitchell). He runs his own business so for him sick leave doesn't exist.
We're both sad, worried and angry but trying to be optimistic.
That is all for today.
