A decorated bike at Araluen - and an update on Vince

I thought you might like an update on Vince. As most of you would know, Vince has recently had lung surgery. He does all his exercises each day and manages quite well when we walk around the village. But he found himself taxed today. We visited Araluen Botanical Park which I’ve already written about. From where we parked the car, we walked downhill to the restaurant where we treated ourselves to lunch. The hill was quite steep, and going downhill wasn’t a problem. After our meal, we went a little bit further down the hill, took quite a lot of photos, including this one of Vince with a decorated bike, then decided to make our way back up the hill to the carpark. Vince could only walk a short way then had to sit till he got his breath back, then we’d move on to another resting place. I drove home and he went straight for a nap. He bounced back after his nap. On Friday, we’ll learn if his lesion was a primary or secondary cancer. Wish us luck.

Glad Vince is getting better, won't be long before he is bouncing around! A nap is always a good restorative

Vince looks well and this decorated bike is beautiful. I have heard from many people who had lung surgery that they need to stop to rest as breathing is hard for them. I wish you get good news, good luck.

@JudyEv - That is what they say that time heals all things. It does not heal old age.

Thanks. We'll find out tomorrow if the lesion was a primary or secondary cancer. Hopefully it will be a primary and he'll just need to continue improving without the need for any more treatment.

Good luck, If it is a secondary cancer, does that mean there is cancer elsewhere in the body that metasized? I hope its not that. He looks pretty good in the photo. I think a steep hill after lung surgery would be difficult.

Yes, to your question but the surgeon says there is no evidence that it's a secondary cancer so that's all good.

We saw the surgeon today who says there is no evidence of it being a secondary cancer so that is good news.
