Happy Friday Blog friends,
I apologize for not posting yesterday, but we did not get back until late yesterday. The last two days of driving to and from Durham have taken a lot of energy out of me. We went on Wednesday to take a new CT Scan and have blood tests done. Yesterday, we taked to Dr. Zafar about the results. And no (Miss Sue) we did not get all of the good news that we wanted to hear.
The scans at Duke confirmed that there is "something" in that area that was not there before. Again, they could not be sure that it is cancer, but my cancer (CA-19) number is elevated again. The highest that it has ever been was 480. Yesterday it was 1500.
It looks and acts like cancer, and Dr. Zafar said that this spot was in the place where cancer would likely show back up. However, he could not tell me for sure that this was not something else, like scar tissue.
So here is the plan. This area is a very small and close area to work in. We are in the process of finding out if a surgeon will do a biopsy. If so, that would be our next step. If not, then we will start chemo in about two weeks.
Thank you for coninuting to walk this journey with me. All of you who read the blog are prayer partners with Diane and me. And we are certain of who else walks with us. His name is Jesus, and it's all about Him.
