Last Wednesday, July 29th, Jeri had an appointment at 8:30 am for a cat scan to see what was going on in her body. While she was on the gurney they took a sample of her kidney stuff and discovered she had a high imsign so they couldn't do the scan so they sent her to the ER for some tests to see what was going on in her body. After and hour-or-two a few doctors came to her room and informed her and all of us that were with her that the xrays showed some dark patches on her bones and then they said that was an indication of possible cancer. We, Lee and Cliff and Mike and Patrice, and myself were rather silent and then Jeri said "that sure sucks all of the air out of the room." And then the doctor said that a lot of other tests had to be made before 'they' would know what was really going on. So the next few days there were many doctors doing tests and reporting to us; that would mean me and anyone else who was there. As the days passed the message was much stronger that they thought she had Mialoma. Dr. Linten, the Oncologist said that if you have cancer this would be the best one to have because it was easy to control with chemotherapy, and that the side effects of the chemo was not as invasive as other types of chemo. After six days of sticking and pocking they were 99% sure that it is Mialoma but won't be sure until tomorrow, which is August the fifth. Jeri is really optimistic and so am I. Today Jeri got a call from the the oncologist's office saying she has an appointment in the middle of next week. While this was going on with Jeri I was making an appointment with Dr. Hansen to have some more of my left ear removed because a another basal cell carcinomas. It seems that the last week has been consumed with being concerned about cancer but this too shall pass.
