!!!!GOOD NEWS!!!!!
Daddy went to the Doctor on Wednesday morning for a PET Scan. He then had to see Dr. Heath Wednesday afternoon for the results. Dr. Heath said that he didn't see any more cancer, but that Daddy did have one spot that he was a little concerned about and he was meeting with a team of specialists on Thursday morning and they would review Daddy's scan. Dr. Heath called yesterday evening to tell us there is
NO MORE CANCER!
DADDY IS CANCER FREE!!!
He did remind us that the cancer Daddy had was a very aggressive cancer and there is no guarantee that it won't pop up again sometime down the road, but for right now they see no cancer at all. He does still have a little bit of swelling or inflammation from the Cyberknife treatments but Dr. Heath said that will go away. He told Daddy to get out and do things, travel, "take your wife on a vacation" etc. (I think Mom liked that one).
Daddy is still on some pain meds. and will be until the swelling in gone but hopefully he will be able to get off them in the next couple months. He is also still on the feeding tube and oxygen. We are hoping that he will also be off the feeding tube soon, but that is going to be up to him. He still doesn't want to eat. He can't chew and he said nothing tastes right so he'd rather be on the feeding tube. I think it's going to be a slow process getting him off the tube, but we'll see.
We are all just so thankful for this miracle and grateful to God for allowing Daddy to stay here with us.
Words can't express our heart felt gratitude to everyone for your prayers, kindness & support over this past year.
Thank you!
