The Saga Continues

I had a very interesting visit with my oncologist yesterday. Those of you who have been through cancer or helped a family member deal with this affliction know that the last word you want to use to describe a visit with an oncologist is the word "interesting." When I had my last CT done about 13 weeks ago, it was much like the previous two scans, showing a few small shadows, but nothing that was a concern. This week's CT scan shows a 1.3 cm spot on my lung and a 0.6 cm spot on my liver, as well as numerous swollen lymph nodes around my spleen. My oncologist was noticeably concerned about these findings. I am going to have the CT scan redone in five weeks and a determination will be made then about the need for a biopsy of the lung and liver.

Needless to say, this was difficult news to receive. Tammy and I continue to believe that the Lord is going to provide a complete healing. We ask that you join together with us in petitioning heaven for the same results. And pray for comfort. Five weeks really isn't that long, unless you have this type of issue hanging out there.
