The Latest

We met with the oncologist this morning. He was hopeful, which was very encouraging to Keith and me. Though he glanced at Keith's scans, he wants to review them with a radiologist and a neuroradiologist before making any treatment recommendations. There is a questionable area in Keith's brain. Dr. Mennel does not feel that it is melanoma, but the radiologist will know for sure. The treatment options are much more promising if the melanoma is not in his brain. We are supposed to call at 10 tomorrow to see what the radiologists think. Please, please, please pray that the spots that showed up on the MRI are nothing!

We have decided to go ahead and have Lincoln early. We will go in at midnight tomorrow, and I will start taking pills. The doctor will come in Thursday morning and get things started. Please pray that the delivery goes as smoothly as possible. Also pray that Keith will not need to take his pain medicine because it makes him very tired.

We really appreciate your prayers! Our God is faithful, and He is taking care of us. We went into the appointment today fearing the worst, but we left the appointment with a sense of hope. We actually got some sleep last night too, which is a feat in itself. : )
