Still believing in Miracles. (changed title)

First off before I get to the report of what we found out today. I just want you all to know that I love you and we could definitely feel the prayers that you guys sent our way. Thank you.

The report from the Doctor was not good. This seems to be regular occurrence. ha

Ok sorry I shouldn't make jokes.

The report of the scan was not good. Richard has been experiencing some pretty bad back pain here lately. It is because some of the smaller tumors have come together to form a larger mass. This mass is pressing on his bowel. It is wedged in between the muscle and the bowl on the lower right side. So this is what's causing the pain.

The Doctor is going to have a conference with the Radiation Oncology team to see if Radiation would be an option. Although Richard has said that he doesn't see the point in doing the radiation simply because that is just one tumor and there are several others. Also there is a lot of risks involved with it being so close to the bowel. So we're just gonna wait and see. Richard says the pain isn't unbearable but he definitely knows it's there.

All of the others have grown a little we didn't expect a big difference in the growths since it has only been about a month since the last scan.

Also Richard has been suffering from a terrible headache that he has had for 13 days now. Sometimes the pain is so bad he feels nauseated. Nothing he has tried taking has offered him any relief. It is there when he wakes up and there when he goes to bed. All day everyday for the past 13 days.

So the Doc has scheduled him for an MRI next Friday the 19th at 8Am. Please remember this date. We are concerned but pray that it is nothing. Don't know when we will get results back. But I'm guessing it will be the next week and the Doctor will call us to give those results to us. So I will let ya'll know when I know.

The good news is that the Oncologist doesn't want to see Richard again till April 16th unless something happens between now and then. We will then repeat this process all over again.

Ephesians 1:11, 12 says this:

In Him we are also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity of His will in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

It continues to be His plan for our lives and we will honor it and Praise Him for it.

Thank you guys again.

I think I am going to try and get my Christmas tree up today sense I am home. Maybe it will bring me out of this funk and make me feel the Holiday Spirit.

We'll see.
