The results

The Radiologist called yesterday and the mri showed cancer on Dad's neck in addition to spine, pelvis and rib. The cancer has not reached Dad's spinal cord yet, which is good news...also Dad still is having no pain, Thank you Lord!!!

We have an appointment with the Chemo Oncologist on the 31st (first available) to find out his suggestions.

Please pray that God continue to spare Dad from any pain and that there is a cancellation at the Chemo Oncologists so we can get in sooner.

Thank you faithful prayer warriors!!!!

Next Step

Well, we had a consultation today with a radiation Oncologist. He seemed somewhat pleased that Dad has no pain (we are pleased about that too!). He mentioned that when there is cancer in a "support bone" namely, his spine, there is a concern because if the cancer were to weaken the bone there could be a lot of pain and if it goes all the way to the spinal cord then there's a chance of paralysis. His advice to us was to get an mri done so they can see what the cancer is doing...so...we will wait for a mri appointment. He also wants us to see a Chemo Oncologist, so we will do that too. So far, that is it...thank you for your prayers!!!!

memories

With Valentine's Day quickly aproaching, I remembered today how my dear husband would, almost every year, have a dozen roses delivered to my office. There was one year that I told him roses were too expensive and that I would be happy with carnations...they last longer and it was the thought that counted after all! The next year he DID save money...he was the delivery boy and he got the vase from home!!!! The flowers were still roses, however.....and somehow the thought counted sooooo much more!!!!!

Chemo

Well, not too much new information on Dad. He seems to be feeling ok and mom says he's eating and sleeping good...I'm thankful!! We have an appointment on the 15th with the Oncologist, we will know more about future treatments etc after that.

Thanks you sooooo much for your prayers...God's blessings!!!
