This post will be short and sweet...
Jimmy's cancer HAS NOT SPREAD!!! Woo hoo!!! The CT scan today showed no signs of cancer in his lungs. We are so relieved...this has been weighing on us since Jimmy's last week of chemo back in May when they saw nodules in his lungs. The MRI also gave the appearance that the tumor may have gotten smaller but we won't know for sure until the final report comes out.
So, as planned, Jimmy is good to go for surgery next week. He is ecstatic about the news and anxious to have the tumor removed. The only potential problem with surgery is that the tumor is attached to his sciatic nerve and the doctor will have to peel away the tumor from the nerve. The doctor assured us that she has done this hundreds of times and she is confident there will not be any complications. The margins will be small by doing this but at least the tumor will be gone.
Thank you all for your prayers and support. I know the prayers are working and we appreciate them so much!
