Results & appointments

We've been trying to process the outcome of the cat scan and we really don't know how we feel.

The four tumors in the liver have not changed. They are not bigger or smaller. The good news is that there are not new tumors.

Les will have a PET scan on Monday, August 4th and see Dr. Lee again on Thursday, August 7th for the results. This will give a better picture of the tumors. Dr. Lee is scheduling an appointment with Dr. Forrestor (KU Liver surgeon). Dr. Lee thinks that Les will have surgery in 4 to 6 weeks to remove the 4 tumors and his gall bladder.

Les has been having trouble swollowing so Dr. Lee is scheduling a scope to look at that area and make sure his esophagus has not been damaged. He also wants him to have a colonoscopy at the same time.

It is all a little overwhelming, but we know that the Lord has a plan.

Les is doing okay.

APPOINTMENTS:
Monday, August 4th PET Scan
Thursday, August 7th Dr. Lee for PET Scan results(Changed to August 14th)
Monday, August 11th Scopes of colon and esophagus
Friday, August 22nd Dr. Forrester (KU liver surgeon)

CAT Scan

Les checks into the hospital today at 9:30 AM. His CAT scan is scheduled for 11:00 AM. It will be a long day for him, since he cannot eat before the procedure.

His spirits are good and he is very positive.

His appointment with Dr. Lee is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 9:45 AM. Les is anxious to see what the next plan is---surgery or more chemo.

God's blessings to all of you.

4th treatment

Les goes today for his last chemo treatment before the CAT scan. I don't know when the scan will be, but probably within the next week or two.

Your prayers are appreciated.

We got home around 1:30 PM today. Les got sick during the chemo treatment and has been sick since we got home and he is very weak.

His CAT scan is scheduled for July 28th and he sees Dr. Lee on July 29th. It seems like a long time to wait, but he understands why.

God Bless!

Day by day!

Les continues to keep going every day. He is very tired and weak, but he does more than he probably should. He doesn't have much appetite, but he tries to eat. We keep trying to make foods that sound good to him. Sometimes it works.

He is anxious to get the 4th treatment over and the scan done. As everyone knows, the waiting it the hardest, but God is his strength and comfort.

Thanks for all of your prayers and comments. It means so much to Les.

God Bless you,

Linda

Holding steady

Les seems to be feeling okay. He is very tired, but no stomach trouble the last two days. His throat is dry and raspy, but no sores yet.

Thanks for all of your prayers----they are working.
