FRIDAY NIGHT UPDATE

We are home. I just walked in the door after Gary's appointment, getting Jax, picking up A's Burgers for Gary and getting his new meds.
Here is what I know so far:
Nothing but possibilities and probabilities. Nothing concrete.
Without boring you with all of the medical jargin I will give you the gist...................

We saw Dr. Fruehauf today at UCI. Upon meeting him he reminded us of a cross between the detective on Psych and of Mr. Bean. He was kind and obviously feels that God is in charge and was very concerned with how Gary was feeling.

Gary's tests are showing possible metastatic disease in both of his hips. If this is the case then it might be elsewhere as well. If it is it would be bladder cancer in the bone NOT bone cancer. The reason it might be elsewhere is because it would obviously be in the bloodstream and not confined to an organ.

There is a small chance it could be inflammation and an infection. It is a small but possible chance.

So, next week he will have a bone biopsy done as well as a CT from his neck to his pelvis.
We will wait for these tests to be scheduled and in the meantime the following will happen:
We will pray continually that we have peace and patience while we wait.
We will get 2 other opinions at Hoag and City of Hope in Long Beach.
We will keep going and stay positive and continue to be surrounded by friends and family!

Thank you for all your love and prayers! Keep it all coming!
Love, L
