More specifically..."no lung or liver metastasis is identified", "...gallbladder is grossly unremarkable. Spleen, adrenal glands, pancreas and the kidneys do not show any focal mass," and "bones do not show any focal metastatic lesion." Now, there wasn't necessarily much improvement, but the fact that it hasn't gotten worse is awesome.
Finally a bit of good news! Good news that we totally needed for the mental aspect of all this :)
We should note that the doctor hasn't discussed the report formally with us, but asked the nurse to share it with us, and let us know that there was no bad news.
On Tuesday when Joe had the scan, we weren't overly nervous about it because we knew that we wouldn't be getting the results right away. Today when the nurse told us she had the report and just had to get the doctor to sign off on it before she released it to us, I got totally nervous! Major 'scan' xiety!
Thanks to everybody praying and sending positive vibes Joe's way. It worked!!
Excellent news!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is SUCH good news! So glad you shared this!
ReplyDeleteWe will all keep on praying and sending positive vibes to Joe and everyone in your family.
Keep the positive thoughts going and keep on 'kicking it' !!!!
Hi Jess,
ReplyDeleteI just read thru and caught up on Joe's progress. We are praying. Kids never forget to pray for someone, so I have all the bazillion kids I know working on this. XO Emily
