Today's results
When I finally got to see my nurse practitioner, she went over all the tests I've had so far, and the results of the CT scan shows many spots in my lungs, and they believe that the rectal cancer has metastasized to the lungs....so then I saw a lung surgeon, and he said that the spots were so small and spread around in both lungs, so they could not do surgery at this time, but he thinks Chemo would be the route to go....if at some point the Chemo has eradicated most of the spots and their were a few spots that were resistant to the chemo they could then consider surgery. The PET scan also showed that the rectal cancer had gotten smaller for some reason....I am thinking the Qigong session I had before Christmas is what helped that to shrink. Anyway, I still have to see the head surgeon Heidi Nelson on Tuesday, and she has the final say on what is going to happen, but it looks to me like chemo will be the first line of action, and we'll see where that goes and then go from there. So continue those prayers.....it is treatable so that is good.
