Scan Update

Last Friday, 4/7, we met with the oncologist to obtain the results of the scans taken just two days prior. Once again, it was all good news. Praise God for his faithfulness. From the initial scans in October, one tumor is gone, the other has been reduced by 60% and the numerous random lesions are gone. In total, the liver tumors are 78% reduced, based on the way the doctor keeps score.

The esophageal cancer is essentially resolved based on what the radiologist can determine. The thickening of the walls of the esophagus is gone. The stent that was placed in my esophagus is “free floating”, indicating that it is narrower than my esophagus. The stent probably should come out soon, as it appears to no longer serve a purpose. We met with the GI physician’s Nurse Practitioner today and discussed that possibility. We will see.

We continue to praise God for the progress that is being made in defeating this cancer. The love and support from family and friends continues to be overwhelming. Thank you for your prayers. They are making a real difference.
