First let me start off with saying: YOU ARE ALL AWESOMELY WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! YOUR PRAYERS ARE WORKING! YOUR FAITH IS CONSTANT AND UNWAVERING AND I AM SO GRATEFUL, HONORED AND BLESSED TO CALL YOU ALL MY FRIENDS! Now on to the news!
Today my dad had an appointment with his Dr. He called as soon as he got home and made me put it on speaker phone so all my kids could hear too. He called to report that his team of Dr.s told him that they are almost positively certain that the series of Chemo, Radiation, and Genocibine treatments are going to be 100% successful. They believe this because they have confirmed by more recent biopsy reports that:
States dad has ampullary voder cancer
actually 2 lymph nodes out of 13
"better prognosis than pancreatic cancer"
"rare cancer and dont have a lot of statistics about it yet"
"only 20% of people who have it are able to have surgery..and you're already in that top 20%" ...so very positive...
The Dr. also told him that once they are finished he was going to live to be a very old man after this unless the sky fell on him!!!!! He did tell Dad that the cost of everything was going to be in the thousands. He just wanted my dad to be prepared because he knows that that is my dad's MAIN worry! He is so scared of having to put his house up to pay for all this! I wish he didn't have such a worry and burden on his hands. So that is what we need to pray on next! We need to pray that the Lord Almighty will help to ease the worry and burden from my dad's mind so that he can start focusing on getting well.
I love you all! I HONESTLY mean that from the bottom of my heart! You are all truly the best!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
Lori
