Today, we went for the oncology follow-up to John's PET scan on Friday. We really did pretty well getting through the several days of waiting. John always does well, but all-in-all, Pam did well with the wait too. God is working.
Your mama used to tell you the magic word was "please" or "thank you." Maybe you like to hear those magic words, "I love you." For us, the magic word is REMISSION! We give God all the glory and praise that that is the word we heard today!
The Dr. said the PET scan did not reveal any cancerous areas and the spots on the CT scan were likely either the dead tissue or lymph nodes that are shrinking. We will see the Dr. again in two months and he said we need to stay healthy for two years. Guess that is the magic number to improve our chances for more REMISSION.
John is still quite tired with little energy. He would like to begin work soon but his days will be short for a good while. We are trying to get PT set up again so that he can get his back muscles strengthened without blowing out all the hernias on his tummy. That is a little beyond our scope. He also needs to be continuing work on his shoulder from the surgery in September.
So, there are things to do. Pam has many verses to share with you but that will have to be saved for another day.
With tears of great joy!
John and Pam
