Appointment with oncologist to find out results of latest ct scan. Seems that all is stable still. Only problem is some inflammation of the lung caused by radiaton that usually shows up months after. Area staying same or slightly smaller.
No new cancer on ct scan or growth! Good report.
Next ct scan and appointment in three months.
Every day is a gift!

We were happy to have a visit from PennyPA while on her trip around the country with Bob, Sam the parrott and two doggies. It was nice to meet them in person. Here is a couple pictures we took. We would have one with the four of us if I could have figured out the timed setting. Of course, I figured it out as soon as they were out the door. Penny had LVRS in Spring and feels good and looks great...
Just a short entry to tell everyone we are doing pretty good. I have not been able to get control of the ulcerative colitis but doing better and hoping! Since my son and family will be visiting in August from Chicago planning on waiting for knee surgery anyway.
Paul is enjoying "stable" and seems ok. No new aches and pains except the neuropathy which comes and goes in his legs and feet. Appetite is good and his hair looking better. At least I got him to smile for this picture. He sees the primary care doctor on Monday. Just a regular checkup.
Happy to report no change in his ct scan. All is still stable - tumors in both lungs remain same size - no spreading. Only problem is some after affects of chemo including some neuropathy in legs and feet. His hair has grown in nicely and he is keeping his goatee for now.
It was a very good news day. Followup in three months.
Today was the followup ct scan to see how the cancer is doing or not doing as it may be!
We will find out at visit with Oncologist next Wednesday. Just trying to enjoy the summer weather and getting outside, etc. My medical problems are resolving (I think) and maybe I will still be able to have my knee replacement this summer or Fall.
More news next week.
My knee surgery was postponed due to complications of colitis. Having tests on Wednesday to decide on form of treatment so I can have the surgery in the future - soon I hope!
Paul is doing good - getting stronger. Still having problems with back pain (unrelated to cancer) and sinus and short of breath. He is, however, getting stronger. CT scan on June 18 will tell exactly how he is doing.
Update on his hair returning - that is good news.
Just a note to update everyone on Paul's progress. He is gaining strength and getting ready to take care of me after knee replacement on Friday. His hair is growing back in - he was hoping for curly but probably not. And a lot more white is showing up than before...here he is...
