Bad News/Good News

After five years Lloyd needed another colonoscopy. Not so good news this time. :( (Kim tells me this is a frowny face. She also said that most people know this and it doesn't have to be explained.) The doctor said he had found a mass so arrangements were made to have it removed. All went well with the operation, but there were three lymph nodes with signs of cancer.
The good news was that there were only three, but the bad news was that there were three.
After talking to the oncologist, we found that there would be chemo--bad news :( --but, the good news is that the chemo will take care of it :). So, just today, we made arrangements to start on August 11th. A port will be put in that morning and the chemo will start directly after that.
Sometimes with Lloyd it's a bit hard to distinguish the bad new face :( from the good news face :)
