Kind of odd since his surgery he stopped wearing his jewelry. But he does still wear his earring. Years ago I had a friend going thru chemo for 4 months and everyday for those 4 months she wore these large earrings the whole time. Once she finished chemo she stopped wearing the earrings and I've never seen them since. I never thought to ask her why, I just always thought maybe she was superstitious and afterwards she thought of them as her "cancer" earrings. People are funny like that.
