I just got home from Mayo after seeing Dr Callister and Dr Parapati. It has taken me time to digest the results of the scans. At first, I was disappointed because one of the tumors is still active and is the one closest to the urethra. But is it small, the size of a marble, and even tho it has increased slightly in size it has decreased in intensity. What ever that means. As you know, I was only thinking the best..no active tumors. However, the largest tumor is not active and has died. Hurrah! Both doctors agree that surgery can be successful and that I can become cancer free with this surgery. So, what am I thinking? I am blessed because my cancer has not spread to any other part of my body, I am blessed that the largest tumor has died, I am blessed that surgery and radiation will remove this cancer, and I am blessed that the area on my lungs does not show cancer. I have always known that I would have surgery. So, nothing has changed, we are still on tract.
Of course, there is risk with any surgery, which I will not go into now. I will hear enough of this when I see my surgeon, better known as the "Bad News Bear." Yes, looks like I will have him after all. He may be the best, so I will just have to get used to the idea!
Thank you for your prayers! I love all of you and thank the Lord that he has given me such wonderful friends and family!!
