Dear Family & friends,
As some of you know, we've had worries about Malcolm over these last few months. He's had a swollen belly that usually appears only when the liver is malfunctioning, and we were very afraid that there might be another tumour. We learned last week, though, that the swelling is likely due to the fact that his smaller liver is still processing 100 per cent of his blood, causing a blood backup that has then caused some leaking of fluid. However, his liver functions have been improving and his belly disappearing, which means his liver is adjusting. Moreover, recent ultrasounds and CT scans have not revealed any tumours anywhere.
As far as our oncologist and surgeon are concerned, we have clear skies ahead for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for all the kind emails, phone calls, visits, meditations and prayers.
Love,
Heather, Malcolm, N and O
