MRI Conquered!!!!!!
Today has been rough but we can see a silver lining. The Oncologist came to visit Dad first thing this morning. We were told this is Extensive stage small cell Carcinoma cancer in the liver. They will begin Chemo tomorrow morning. We have moved to the 5th level (oncology floor). Dad also had a C-Scan this morning of the brain. The doctor found some spots that she was worried about so we (with the help of the Lord Jesus Christ, Valium and morphine) conquered the MRI!!! Mom sat with him and held his hand to comfort him. The results showed good things and bad things. Good things that there is not bleeding bad news there is some cancerous spots in the brain. We will wait until tomorrow when we again meet with the Oncologist Dr. Barnett for more info on the brain spots. He is back on the Heparin which is FANTASTIC!!! He is not in as much pain as he was a few days ago which should mean that the clot is dissolving. Hallelujah!! God is good and we know he has a plan. We have been on such a roller coaster hoping for a break once he is on the Chemo. Thank you Prayer Warriors!!!! We feel you!

So glad for the update....I can't tell you how many times I went to computer today to see if there was an update!! I remember how painful the P.E.'s are (pulmonary embolism)....Ron had one in April, and he kept begging for more morphine (he had very high tolerance to pain, and it was Masters week-end!!). So glad you felt your prayer warriors today, they are always on duty, you know!! Sending big hugs to the patient, and also his care-givers :) Take care of yourselves!! TD/RD
