After a successful surgery, my husband now has a terribly huge scar on his abdomen but we remain optimistic. A few weeks later we are called into the doctors office. They tell us good news the surgery went well and they were able to remove the tumor but the bad news is that it is a rare and extremely aggressive form of cancer. (Intrahepatic cholangiocarinoma) They were able to remove it all and all my husband needed to do was take some pills. We think wow, we really dodged a bullet and everything is going to be ok now. We were so wrong.
My husband goes back to running an international business from our home office. COVID is the main thing on everyone’s minds. I start putting together lego kits and jigsaw puzzles to fight off the isolation I feel. It was hard not being able to see friends or family. Due to the cancer scare we were really cautious with COVID. Occasionally I would meet a friend for a walk all the while keeping our cancer story a secret.
