Appointment update

Dr. Lee says that the results from the K lab show a chemo that the cancer will respond to. The plan is to wait one more month (this will be a total of 3 months since the CAT scan). On April 27th Les will have a PET scan to determine if they are dealing with cancer anywhere else, or just the tumor on the liver. He will see Dr. Lee on April 28th. At that time they will decide what to do. Options are the chemo treatments or another microwave radiation on the tumor on the liver. Les's liver cannot handle another major surgery, so this is not an option per Dr. Forrester and Dr. Lee.

So we are waiting one more month and praying that the cancer is contained in the liver.

Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.

Linda

I am sure that Les is in God's hands. You have made a valiant fight so far Les, keep up the fight while we are praying for you. Linda you are in our prayers also. It is not easy being the care giver at times like this.
