I guess you all know the saying about Ifs' & buts' (If ifs' and buts' were candy and nuts, everyday would be Christmas). We still do not have any results and/or certain answers regarding the reason for Daddy's pain. I took him this past Friday for an MRI. However; Daddy got sick (I think it was nerves) and couldn't complete the test. I talked to the Doctor that evening and he proceeded to tell me that from his experience he feels that Daddy's cancer has already returned and there is nothing else they can do for him other than to keep him comfortable on pain meds and call in Hospice to help manage things. He also felt it necessary to sing his own praises in telling me that he felt he was being extremely proactive in January when he offered the Cyber knife treatments. He spent 15 min. giving me his "gloom & doom" theory to then spend about 5 min. telling me that it was possible that the pain is from an abscess, scar tissue or something other than the return of the cancer. He doesn't feel that is the case, BUT its' possible. IF it’s' something else, then they can take the necessary steps to treat it. IF not; & it’s the cancer, then they can't do anything. I take him back this Friday and they are going to try an open MRI. Hopefully he will be able to make it through this one.

Please keep him in your prayers and pray, pray, pray that it’s not the cancer back.
