Knock on wood

Postby Mohrfamily » Tue Mar 12, 2019 4:45 am

DH. Has 1/3 of the requests done for MSK. His new MRI shows everything unremarkable except of course the liver his largest liver lesion is 3x3 cm which if it's the same spot from a year ago it was 6x6 cm. Thankfully with all the prayers and his fighting attitude and strength things are still tending positively.

Thursday is PET day and next week meet with the surgeons for a new colonoscopy.

DH has me a little frustrated, he's mentioned that if his progress continues this way he doesn't want to return to MSK. I am not backing that choice after everything I've been told and read. He clarified that if MSK suggests the liver pump he would do it without question he is just wondering if there's anywhere closer that might be able to just get surgery done without it and continue mop up chemo.

It's no doubt been a slow process I'm trying to remind myself slow and steady wins the race. Also God works on a different time table.
