Waiting on Biopsy Results

      Wayne and I just returned from MDA on Sat. Night.    THE PET WAS CLEAR AND CLEAN except for that one pesky little spot on his right leg above knee.  Sub-cutaneous fatty tissue, so they did a biopsy on Friday.   We are waiting for results. 

      The way they found Wayne's mets in March was through a heart plaque scan, so we are back at Cardio catching up.   He says Wayne needs Heart Cath and possible stents after testing.

      HOWEVER, we cannot have that done until we know biopsy results.   Will have to go back to MDA for surgery to remove that first MAKING HIM TOTALLY CANCER FREE and then he has to wait a short period of time before he can have Cath/Stents.  

      OVERALL, we are very excited about results and will be happy now to TAKE CARE OF this pesky little heart thing.   Gilda Radner said:  'it's always something, and then she died"   –  LOLOLOL '

      Anyway, we shall find out today about the biopsy, PRAYERFULLY !    I need knee surgery too, so we have possibly 3 surgeries to get done by end of year. 

      BUT, Oh what a year that will start out being !   YES !!!!!!

      He started Zel on April 23, 2012 and has been clean in ALL ORGANS since June 16th !!!    

      WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT NEXT STEP WILL BE – POSSIBLY to keep on keeping on with ZEL !   Will meet that challenge when it comes.

      BLESSINGS AND HEALTH TO ALL OF YOU WARRIORS out there !   HANG IN THERE – NEVER GIVE YOU !

          Nancy,

          I am hoping that by now you have gotten biopsy results and that it is all clear. If not, it does at least sound like it would not be too invasive of a surgery. 

          I am glad to hear that over-all things are going well!
