I know... I know... I haven't written anything here for some time. I have heard from several of you about that and I apologize. I guess maybe you can conclude that ... "no news is good news."
I thought I would update you on the latest. We have been taking a break from chemo because the last PET scan showed some activity in the colon. Dr. Neelam thought it might be inflammation and she had us order a colonoscopy which had to be delayed because Arnie got a nice case of C-diff in the mean time, that needed to be dealt with. We saw our family doctor and he prescribed the necessary drug for Arnie to take which he did and it got rid of the infection, after a 3 week period.
Last week, on Friday, we went for the colonoscopy and those results showed no evidence of cancer in the colon, which is really good news. They took some tissue for biopsy, however, for further testing for cancer and for C-diff, which we should be getting results in another day or 2. Dr. Shah did say that everything looked good, though so we are confident that all is good.
We will contact CTCA after we get those biopsy results to make arrangements for the more chemo treatments.
It has been really nice to live a "normal" life these past weeks. Arnie feels good and looks good - people say that he doesn't look like a cancer patient, which he really doesn't! God has been so good to us!
Please continue to keep us in your prayers and I will try to get our progress reports send out in a more timely manner in the future! I will try!!
