Walt went to the doctor on Wednesday for a follow up visit related to the recent surgery that he underwent. The good news is that everything looks good and he is healing nicely. Walt is getting around pretty well and is driving (short distances) again.
The bad news is it appears the cancer (melanoma) is coming back. There is another mass in his neck in the same spot as the original mass. He will go back to the doctor to measure it in three weeks; if it has grown, they will evaluate treatment options. Most likely, he will require another surgery with a head and neck specialist to remove the mass and some sort of follow up cancer treatment.
Walt is disappointed, but optimistic. He and the rest of the family covet your prayers.
Have a blessed weekend.
