Another Dr. appt.

We had a great Thanksgiving with children, grandchildren, my sister, brother and his wife all present.  Needless to say, there was lots of activity - it's always fun to see the grandchildren play together.  On Friday, David helped me with some winterizing chores and we finished mowing the grass.  I think we have finished turkey leftovers so Thanksgiving is over.


We had the two-week follow-up visit with the dr. today.  Since I'm still coughing, experiencing pain, and sleeping short periods only(maybe 2 hours before coughing), he wants to do scans again.  Therefore, I go for CT and MRI late Thurs. afternoon and Thurs. night this week and return to him next Tues. to find out what he sees and what do we do from there.  He suspects the cancer is growing but wants to know before we change anything.  I don't like the scans, mainly MRI, but am glad he wants to know and not just assume.  He did give me pain and sleep medications.  We'll see if they help - maybe I can sleep in bed instead of my recliner.

  1. Hey Jim, thanks for the update. I too am glad that he wants to know what's causing all the coughing and pain. I'll be praying even more for you guys and I'll make sure Pat knows.
    Love ya
