After Les's appointment was postponed last Tuesday, he went to see Dr. Lee yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, 1/27). The CAT scan shows another tumor in the live approximately 1/8" by 1/4"(relatively big for a cancer cell). This was not the news we prayed for, but it could be much worse.
Dr. Lee wants further tests to determine what direction to take now. For the next eight weeks he is having tests run on the cancer cells stored at Shawnee Mission Hospital; he will study the CAT scan and confer with Dr. Forrester. He does not want to do more chemo since it is obvious that the strong chemo did not work on the cancer cells in the liver.
The good news is that Les's liver is functioning well, and has restored itself 80% from the surgery in October. His blood tests are good and he is feeling well.
Dr. Lee does not want to knock him down with more chemo right now until they determine exactly what will work.
So in the mean time he is going on with his life. He feels better every day and his spirits are up. The future is in God's hands. We put all of our trust and faith in him.
Thank you for your prayers and comments.
God Bless you! Linda
