Update March 22nd 2013

Dear Friends,

3 PM

We talked to the three doctors here a couple days ago.  They were concerned that the pain management would slow or hamper treatment.  Their recommendation was to have the surgery to redirect the colon, colonostomy.  That way, we can concentrate on reducing the tumor so it can possibly be removed and they could reconnect the colon.  Today we talked to Dr. Contreras about doing that on Tuesday.  After I heal from surgery, I will start on integrative chemo therapy to hit the tumor and protect the rest of me.  I'm praying the tumor will dissolve and go away!  I don't know God's plan but He does!  I will trust Him.  That is where we are right now.  We may have to come home a little later then we had planned.  Today is a detox day.  That means the coffee in the morning and evening, and a mineral drip IV that takes 4-5 hours!  I think my veins are getting tired.  The IV's are uncomfortable.  It cuts down on my typing or writing.  Need to train my left hand better, I guess!

5 PM

Thank you for your prayers,  I haven't updated for a while since my arm has been over occupied with IV's in uncomfortable places.   I am currently IV free for a little while so will try to write before they stick me again!  Got to enjoy every moment of pain free living!!!!!
