All the test I had in Charleston turned out great! I had a contrast CT Scan and my surgeon said there was no sign of cancer in my liver, spleen, etc. so he thinks he got it all. I will have another scan in 3 months. He also said the my esophagus was wide open and there were no signs of any further problems.
I then saw a urologist and he told me that the nodule on my kidney is only 6 mm long and it has not grown in the last 6 months. He said that it might not be a cancer after all and if it is, it is too small to worry about - at least for now. He wants to see me again in 6 months.
Finally, the spots on my lung are only scar tissue and nothing to worry about.
So, now I can concentrate on putting on some weight and adding muscle. I even am starting to have a little appetite and I am trying hard to have 5/6 small meals each day and to make sure I am getting enough protein.
I will try to write a longer blog in the next few days. Meanwhile, thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.
Bernie this is great news! Debbie and I are so happy for you!
