Test Results

Today I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy, neither of which are very pleasant. I, however, was very excited to get these tests and even happier to find that I don't have cancer in my stomach or colon. That is good news, because those are two more places that I know are cancer-free in my body. The last place for them to check is my bile ducts, which will happen tomorrow. They check this by injecting me with dye and then doing a CAT scan-like test. So it won't be the worst test I've had.

After the test today I was so hungry that I ate two tacos at Baja Fresh, plus some of David's food. It was more food than I've eaten in quite a while. I went and slept very soundly at my mom's house for 3 hours before we headed back to Fallon.

Also, I've had many people suggest connections they have with various cancer centers, which I appreciate. My goal is to get to MD Anderson treatment center in Houston. I have scheduled with them and I have to wait to hear from a specialist as to when they can take me.

Thanks to many prayers and blessings on my behalf, I am very optimistic about my treatment. Liver cancer is serious and can be fatal, but I am a believer in miracles and I don't think it's my time to go yet. Thank you to all - I appreciate your support!!
