Lucky, lucky, lucky
Quent had his (telephone) follow up with Mr Vasdev today.
We had been feeling very lucky - for Mr Vasdev to agree to give it a go, for the operation not being cancelled during the peak Covid-19 period, for the operation to be completed and for Quent to leave hospital a couple of days later, with no infection and no Coronavirus. That's already a lot of luck.
With a tumour of 3.2cc and a Gleeson score of 4+3, there remained a risk that the cancer had broken through the capsule on the left side. But in fact the surrounding tissue was clear so they must have caught it when it was right at the edge. Well done, Mr Vasdev.
Quent's "jammy b*****" title is retained and there's no need for follow up hormone treatment or radiotherapy. Hooray! We'd be going out to dinner to celebrate if only such things were allowed.
Meanwhile, Mr Vasdev has confirmed that Quent should focus on exercising his pelvic floor and not his petrol saw - so no more chopping logs! He also said Quent should not over walk or over exert himself, but I seem to have been the only one to hear that piece of advice!
