Good afternoon...
Radiation went well - about 15 seconds in all, but computer broke down and the procedure took 2 hours! Patience!
We got the results of yesterday's biopsy and the cancer has spread to the lungs. I'm sorry for the harshness of those words, but there is no easy way to say them. They're just difficult words. We have an appointment with the Madison oncologist next Friday. We will, then, postpone our appointment with Mayo's (it was on the 29th...and with radiation being every day and not being able to skip any, it'll work out best to postpone it at this time anyway).
Over & over, thank you for your constant begging to our Father in heaven on our behalf. May His name be praised!
Love you all,
Don & Deb
Not the news we all wanted for you but continuing to hold you up in our prayers and please know how very much we love you.
ReplyDeleteDon & Deb,
ReplyDeleteGoing to try this again. Lost several entries, so will see if I am now doing this right. Jim & I added you to our prayer list. Having walked the same path you are starting for the last year, know that it will be challenging, but know you two will take on the challenge and with the prayers and support of all of your
family and friends and your deep faith in our Lord, you will be an inspiration to everyone you come in contact with.
We chose Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Zion before we knew we would have to involve the VA in Madison in Jim's cancer fight. They are wonderful, but also have found that our oncologist from UW who works at the VA facility is also terrific. So we know you are in good hands.
Jim & Marcia
Hi Don & Deb - I haven't tried this before but I'll see if it works! It was so good to see you at lunch today - glad we came! Want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers constantly and will continue to be. We know WHO cares for each of us & He is there for us always. What a blessing. Have a good weekend and let us know what we can do for you anytime (such as go to the drug store.) Love you both dearly.
