I spoke with Mom several times today. Dad had the PET scan done this morning, and the EUS (Ultra sound probe down the esophagus) this afternoon. The PET scan results will not be discussed until tomorrow with the doctor. The EUS results were revealed right after the test was performed. The doctor came out and told them she could not see the tumor!!!!!! Praise the Lord!!! It has shrunk. We do praise God for that, but now we need to know how to proceed from here. The doctor confirmed, what the surgeon had told Mom and Dad. This was, that even if the tumor had shrunk to nothing, they would still want to do the surgery to remove any possible microscopic cells that could be hiding in the tissue. Dad is wanting everyone to pray that the surgery will not have to be so major, and reconstructive. (They were planning on removing the part of the esophagus that was infected, and replacing it with part of his stomach). I really don't know how to ask everyone to pray except for this....
Pray for wisdom and insight for these doctors as they look at all the test results, from today and the PET scan tomorrow, that they will be lead by the Holy Spirit on what steps they need to take next.
Pray for Mom and Dad, that they will have a peace and strong leading in whatever the doctors suggest to do.
Pray for God's hand to be in every decision, every discussion, every situation that they are involved in over the next 24 hours.
Thank you again for praying, JJ
PS, I will update tom after we get the results back from the PET scan.
