hurry up & wait...

We made another trip to COH (City of Hope) to visit the MD oncologist. He confirmed what two other surgeon oncologist had said. We were told that we need to have the biopsy and that this doctor wanted to actually see the cells under the microscope. He said he wasn't the type to say "I think it's this or that" he wants to see what he is treating. We both liked his straight forward talk. This week we move forward with the scans and biopsy in order to get a plan of treatment.

Today was one of B's harder days, the pain was a bit unmanagable at times and todays doctor, by the way his name is, Dr. Figlin, encouraged B to take the pain meds as soon as the pain starts, instead of waiting too long. He also increased the dosage, for him to be able to better manage the pain. We do not have a scheduled appt for the biopsy, so I did what I do best, knocked on doors, sat in front of whomever would listen and at least receiveda promise of a call tomorrow with an appt.

First of all I LOVE this picture of the two of you! Great picture! :-) I pray that you feel God's guidance, strength, and love as you go through every scary situation down this uncertain road. You are on several prayer lists and we know the power of prayer. All of you are in my constant thoughts. Much love, Chelle
