Day By day
We met with the Medical Oncologist, Dr. Szabo, on Friday afternoon and once again had to balance good news with the need for more tests and waiting. We like him, his style, his experience and his faith and he indicated all his experience tells him the odds are really in our favor. We consider what has happened a miracle because it is apparently very rare to catch a cancer like this at an early stage. The Pathologists have narrowed the possibilities to two types of cancer - one will require light follow up chemo after surgery and the other will not. Dr. Szabo has also scheduled a PET scan. Thanks again for your support and continued prayers for good news from Dr. Staley on Monday, hopefully we'll know by Tuesday if chemo will be required and the PET on Wednesday . A good friend, who claims to have a direct line, prayed: " God, you are piling on. Debbie has spent over 30 years with Dave and that's more pain than any woman should have to endure"

Thanks so much for starting the blog to keep us updated on how you are doing & what is going on! I will check it daily!!! You are all in our prayers multiple times a day, every day! We love you and are trusting in God's faithfulness for good results from the PET scan, to give the pathologists clarity & the ability to accurately diagnose the cancer & subsequent treatment, and ultimately for complete healing. Love you more than words....Lauren, Ryan & Madison Claire
