A current update from June

Ok I am so sorry that I haven't posted before this...I know most of you have heard via word of mouth, text, email etc...but I always like to post on here not only for those of you who haven't heard but for my yearly book we make from the blog...its my scrapbook and journal all in one! Ok...so....Back in the first part of June Ray had his scans and lab work done. His scans included, a CT of his chest, abdomen, pelvis, and left leg. He also had a bone scan head to toe (since that's where the cancer has metastasized ) GREAT news! The bone scan looked great!! Plan for the follow up in another 6 months! CT looks pretty good....there is some unexplained thickening in his intestines. Without going in and looking they are not sure yet....and since Ray is pretty much opposed to any optional surgery...it could be scar tissue, inflammation, or a tumor starting the doc said it won't hurt to wait and we will see what the next scan in six months bring. So good news so far...as far as the lab work goes...his A1C went up two whole points! THAT'S BAD!! So he is supposed to follow up with his endocrinologist and be a much better boy!! We will see what happens with that LOL All in all we couldn't have been happier....it looks like we will finally escape a summer without a month or more in the hospital!!! Ray does struggle daily and I don't want to make lightly of it....His strength is admirable...he is AMAZING! I have to see the extremes here at home and its hard on us all. But we still like to stick to the motto...Make the most of EVERY day! Thanks for again for the endless prayers and support...it means EVERYTHING to us! HUGS!
