We are elated that the endoscopy found no cancer in Sam's stomach. The doctor yesterday had sent us home thinking pretty sure that he would find that. I think he was surprised to only find a little gastritis which is an inflamation of the stomach lining that can easily be treated with Pevicid.
We will go ahead with the further tests on Tues. for the oncologist and have added a MRCP test on Wed. afternoon for the gastroentrologist doctor.
We are doing much better emotionally now that the stomach is cleared of cancer. Dr. Shah had sent us home yesterday feeling like we were on a death watch. He said that Sam had all the external symptoms of stomach cancer and that by the time symptoms appear the cancer is pretty far along. We are so glad that we are ultimately under the care of the Great Physician who knows the number of the hairs on our head and who can see inside of our every cell!
We are off to see our kids for the weekend and forget about all this for a couple of days. Thank you one and all for your prayers. They are truly carrying us through these deep waters. We love each and every precious friend.

sorry not to get back to you quicker. have been changing our email carrier:( also getting ron lined up for a fall of radiation for prostate ca (that was a surprise outcome to his surgery). it wasn't the shock you had, but it was a surprise.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely gift the party was for you! how delightful to be able to hear from people what the impact of your ministry has been.
we will pray with you during this time of so much waiting. that is what i have always felt for my patients over the years...there is to much waiting! the encouraging words that come to mind: Be still and know that I am God.
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
our prayers are with you both. you are now in a different world...officially! with love, martha
