We are finally home after numerous trips for medical reasons today and to sign up for Medicare D which should take care of medical needs for a a few days. We’ll see if it all works as well as advertised. Being from the “Show Me State” we will have to be shown.

OK….not to delay with what you’re all waiting for. The surgeon released us and thought Rocky had done well in his healing and recovery. He told him to take it easy for another four weeks or longer to give his body a chance to rest up. As for the liver biopsy it was what they all thought it was and spouted off a big long name of something I can’t even remember. The bottom line is…..it did come from the same cancer that was in the colon.

He secured a date for us to see Dr. Morgan, the oncologist who will inform us of the options we have. We didn’t ask Dr. Eck about how bad or how much because he clearly wanted to leave that up to Dr. Morgan. I’m finding out the more informed we become, the better our chances seem.

However, upon seeing our local doctor this afternoon, he told us the kind of cancer Rocky has in the liver doesn’t usually respond well to chemo or radiation. Not to be fool-hearted but also not to just sit down and give up……..we decided we would not become alarmed…….but simply wait for the facts from Dr. Morgan.

Our appointment with him is April 6th so we’ll know a lot more then. We’ll just hang in there and make appropriate decisions at that time. Thank you all for your prayers, support, love and friendship……you are all appreciated.

As for us…….today is Becky’s birthday so we’re looking forward to her coming home from work so we can do our part to make her day special…….life goes on and there is always more to be grateful for than the bad things that happen. A little light looks mighty bright in a dark tunnel………and to find the way out we just need to follow the light.

Until the next time,
Essentially Esther
