Pet scan shows that cancer is much smaller than before in the left lung. The spot in my wind pipe is smaller but still showing up and two lymph nodes show about the same as last time. The oncologist says we are making real progress and the radiologist says we are making progress. They want to wait another month before making a decision on future treatments. All in all it is good news for two reasons. 1. I get 5 more weeks of a break and, they tell me, it wll most likly shrink more over the next few weeks. I am not jumping up and down with the news but I am cautiously optimistic. It sounds like I have a good chance of fighting this thing.
God bless you and your house.

Going for the PET scan today. I will not get the results until Monday. This will make for an interesting weekend; Waiting to see about the rest of my life. Whatever the Lord has for me I must face with a smile and praise. Pray that I can do that. God bless you and your house.

It looks like my scan is scheduled for Thursday April 28, at 12:00 noon. I will not see the doctor that day but will have to wait until Monday at 12:00 for that. At least it is not too long of a wait. Let's all pray for a good report.
I have felt very good today and have had a fair amount of energy. The pain is gone and I am not taking pain medication and haven't for 5 days. That is really a help to me to not have to take pain meds. they take away the pain but make me feel bad otherwise. I am eating good and have very little pain when I swallow. That is also a big step foreward for me.
I hope this is a preview of things to come. God bless you and your house.

My insurance company(Humana), has refused to approve my PET scan for Monday. Therefore, I must wait until we can convience them that this is needed to tell if we have any cancer left in my body. A pet scan is the only way to be sure what,if anything, is left. The insurance company knows that and they are just flexing their muscles. I will be in their face as soon as I can be there and give them what for. In the mean time I will have to wait longer to find out if they whipped this thing or not. God bless you and your house.

Another bad day and just when I thought they were behind me. Had one of those days when all I wanted to do was sleep. I hurt all over and my eating was way off. I just lade around all day and slept. I hope that is a one day thing. I pray that tomorrow will be better. God bless you and your house.

Up at 6:30 today after a good nights sleep. I went out o take some things to Tammy she had forgotten and to the new Tractor Supply store. Came home and slept another hour on the couch. I guess I need it but this sleeping thing is taking too much time. I am eating better and feeling better except for the tiredness. I am tired all the time. Have very little energy to do anything. As if I could do anything with this constant storming around here. It is supposed to be better for a few days now. I hope so.
Just mainly sitting around here waiting for the pet scan to come, on Monday at 11:30. Nothing much to add except God bless you and your house.

If my Dad were alive today he would be 109 years old. He was born this day in 1903. He died in 1986 and I still miss him every day.
We had the praise service yesterday and I came away feeling that we did what the Lord wanted us to do; Praise and worship him. there were not a lot of people there but those who were there were God's own.
My thanks to Jack and Gwin Tipton, Megan and Christopher Stull and Leigh Shultz for their singing. Jen Jinkins for her beautiful solo and Wayneanne for helping me out in leading the songs. The prayers that went up were,I know, a sweet smell to our Lord. Thanks to everyone who made it possible especially Mark Murphy who did sound.
Feeling better today but still have that ole chemo hangover that will last some time more. I'm eating pretty well except when I get in a hurry and try to take too big of bites. If I keep it slow I can do ok. I would still like to gulp and wolf down a peck of food.
One more week until I find out what progress all this has made against my cancer. I pray that it has had some effect. It would be a shame to go through this and have nothing get better.
God bless you and your house.
