South Shore Trailhead, Two Medicine Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana
We’re following the path ahead of us!
Mr. Jim had a new CAT scan earlier this week, and we consulted with the surgeon about the results. There does not seem to be any discernible change from a couple of months ago. Now that a couple of rounds of chemo have been completed, the next step is surgery for removal of the malignancies and swollen lymph nodes. Mr. Jim’s surgery is scheduled for September 10. He will be in the hospital for 7-10 days and recuperate at home over the course of a few months. Once he is sufficiently healed up, he will then go through a series of chemo and radiation treatments.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would continue to keep Mr. Jim in your prayers! Thank you so much!
P.S. Surgery is a good thing! It's what can cure him! Chemo/radiation treatment alone can't do it.

ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping us informed, Donna. I'm sorry there wasn't a better result from Jim's chemo. You both will be in my thoughts and heart in the coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that it hasn't gotten worse! Pre-treatment was a preventative measure before surgery.

And thanks for visiting my Weekend shadows and your comment.
You must be quite busy these days.
I am minding a little boy home from school with a fever today.
Grandma is coming in handy.
