Hey, just thought I would update everyone.
Quickly, to recap:
Last week at MDA, the Drs. found a spot on Dad's adrenal gland that looked suspicious. They wanted to do a biopsy to see if it was cancer. They were not able to do this immediately, so Mom and Dad headed home and waited for them to schedule it.
While at home, the have considered having another PET scan done before they do the biopsy, since the biopsy of the adrenal gland is a little more tricky than if it were on another part of the body.
We are all about to head up to CO for our, what has become, annual family ski trip.
Dad and Mom really wanted to do this, so either way, we have postponed the biopsy until after the trip. We will see if another PET scan happens or not, before the biopsy is performed. We will talk and pray about the options.
Anyway, we are looking forward to getting to the mountains together, and we will post again, once we know what the plan is for Dad.
Please pray for wisdom as to the next step that we take, and for the Drs. as well.
In His amazing grace,
JJ

6 Month Checkup
Just got off the phone with Mom. They are at MDA waiting.
Dad went in for his 6 month check up this week, and heard back today, that they found a spot, on the pet scan, on his left adrenal gland.
The doctor said, they would need to biopsy the spot, see if it is cancer, then get a plan of action, depending on what they find out.
Please pray for wisdom on the part of the doctors, Mom and Dad, and all involved.
This is all we know right now. Mom sounded good, just a little disappointed that they didn't get the all clear.
No one seemed to be in a panic, which is good.
So, they are waiting to find out when they can schedule the biopsy.
I will keep you posted.
In His grace,
JJ Ford
