Guess who’s got two thumbs and all his organs? This guy!\u00a0If you’ve been following on social media, then you know recent events with me. If not, here’s the summary.\u00a0What the doctors\u00a0thought was a cancerous tumor was actually a high-grade, severe dysplasia (I think I have all the words right). It’s the last step cells make before they become cancerous. This one was caused by a gallstone wedged into my\u00a0bile duct that was causing chronic inflammation. The surgery was necessary to remove it. When they pulled it out, they got a positive margin and when they tested the removed tissue, it was non-cancerous.<\/p>\n

So right now, the doctors don’t believe I have cancer. Instead, I was just about to have cancer. So instead of Stage 1, I was Stage… 0.5? For the immediate future, that means I don’t have to have a Whipple procedure and can keep all my organs (Hurray!). The tumor is off for a full pathology. If the tumor has cancerous cells, then I’m doing chemo. If that comes back as clear, I will not need chemo. They are going to want to scan me for a couple years to make sure this doesn’t come back.<\/p>\n

This is better news than the best case scenario I could have hoped for. I’m back home now and happy to be here. This also means that I can start working on the next chapter. Thank you for all the love and support! It really means a lot to me. I continue to be one of the luckiest people I know.<\/p>\n

This means the hiatus is over. I’ll be postingit’s Map Time when you vote for Snow by Night<\/a> on Top Web Comics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
