Can't Wait Any Longer

I just wrote a whole blog about where we are now...and the only thing that posted was the letter "d".  Now how did that happen???

So, here I go again.  I had wanted to wait until we had received all the results of the tests that were done this last week in Houston.  The petscan and endoscopy reports we  received immediately.  They did a biopsy during the endoscopy and that is the results that we haven't received.  It's pretty important to get a good clean biopsy and I truly think he will, but it's aggravating not to know for sure.  If there is something on the biopsy he will need to have surgery.  I'm claiming a clean biopsy..hope the Lord agrees with me!

We have a very nice oncologist, Dr. Blum. The oncology department feels that the best thing to do in Roy's situation is to have the surgery whether anything shows or not.  As he was visiting with her on Tuesday he made the statement that he was having surgery.  Her face lit up and a big smile was there until Roy said that actually it was going to be a knee replacement.  Burst her bubble big time but she just smiled and went on with the treatment plan.  If everything is good we do not go back until sometime in March.

He has had so many problems and so much pain in the right knee this last year that after visiting with the orthopedic doctor the decision was made just to go ahead and get it done.  Ofcourse, it was the left knee replacement that helped us discover the cancer.  He did so well with the surgery and rehab that he felt there was no reason not to go and have the other knee replaced.  He will have that surgery Dec. 28th...making sure we get surgery in this year since we have definitely made all our deductibles for insurance.

So, here we are.  Praising God that everything looks good.  But if something happens and surgery does become necessary, we will face it and know that it is God's will and part of the journey He has given us to travel.    We have been blessed so much knowing how many people are praying for us.  I just can't imagine making the decisions we've made and taking the steps we've taken without the support of all our friends and friends of friends...thank you...thank you...thank you....

God is in control and holding our hands..
