Saw the Dr. today before chemo. John will have two more treatments on Aug. 7 and Aug. 21. I guess this is not a surprise but still, it would have been nice to just have the four treatments rather than six. Sometime before the next chemo on Aug. 7, John will have a CT scan to check the tumors.
A thoracic surgeon will be calling us for a consult. Our oncologist surprised us a bit by saying that the surgeon will have to determine if he could operate. We asked him what if he says he can't, and his reply was that we would look for another surgeon. The oncologist did say that each lung would likely be operated on separately.
There will also be follow-up chemo after the surgery.
All in all, I guess I walked away a little down but John thinks that is just me. Physically, John is feeling as expected with this treatment.
Please pray for us. We know God is bigger than any cancer cell but this still just stinks.
On a lighter note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to John's mom, Joyce, in CA. We are so thrilled she is able to spend her birthday traveling in the motorhome!

Pam,
I pray you feel his power and comfort as you know he is working miracles in our lives, including John's healing. This road may be longer and harder than we hoped but I know in my heart the outcome is great.
Love, Jim
We are thinking about you both and praying for your spirits to be lifted. May God give you greater strength and continued healing and wisdom on the journey. Much Love, Greg & Vickie
