Scan update.

Well, I have so much to blog about, lets start with the not so cheery stuff first...

Brian had his routine PET scan and check up this past Friday. We were both super excited that he was able to fight off a cold for the first time since he started treatments on his own without meds. You may recall that he wasn't producing blood back in March and April and had to have a bone marrow biopsy. Well, his lab work is beautiful, right where it needs to be. He also had some esophageal inflammation on his last PET that is no longer there. Praise God. But....there's always a but. They've been watching a lymph node in his groin for a while. The lymph system empties into the groin, so they didn't want to unnecessarily poke around there for remove this node if they didn't have to. There are risks, mainly, lymphedema. But, this node is larger and its glowing more intensely on the PET. So, Thursday and Friday we will be in Dallas meeting with a surgeon. Thankful that my husband has such a kind hearted, pro-active oncologist. He made it very clear to the surgeon that he doens't want to wait, that we need these results because it will determine the next course of treatment. Praying its nothing, but as always, its not in our hands.

Thankful for my family, specifically my mom, who has taken off work to be with our children. Thankful for my job, and the people there who are so understanding. My boss is having a particularly hard time. Continued prayers for her. A few years ago, her brother was murdered at a bank while he was making a delivery. The trial has been going on and the sentencing is next week. Her baby sister has been battling breast cancer. Her sister slipped into a coma this weekend and its a matter of time until she passes into the next life. Her family will more than likely be planning a funeral next week. So much for one family to deal with.

I'm sure this biopsy result will take a week or so, but that works out perfectly with my blogging schedule.

Beginning of school and Canada trip to follow.
