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)
