Good News - Tumors Shrinking

Bill and I were down in Denver on Thursday at the University of Colorado Health Center. I had my 5th ERCP to replace the stents in my bile duct. The doctors said that one of the tumors has resolved and so I am taking that to mean one of the tumors is gone and the others are a little smaller from April and they didn't put stents as high in the hepatic ducts. So good news. Praise God.

I had chemotherapy on Tuesday. It was weird being back there after missing the last 7 weeks. There was a new set of regulars. The nurses all recognized me. They gave me the lower dose of chemotherapy. I am feeling good. I am still on oxygen full time, but that is getting better also.

We got a diagnosis for Kelly this week. She had been dizzy since July 26th, the Sunday we got off of the cruise. She has been unable to really be on her feet. She has had to call into work the past few weeks. Thursday she went and saw someone at the Ear Nose and Throat doctor's office. She was diagnosed with maldebarq syndrome. Her brain never reset to say she was back on land. There isn't any medication to fix it. There is some physical therapy she can do to help reset her brain. So she has physical therapy appointments the next 6 weeks along with some exercises to do at home. The concern is she starts school in 2 weeks and needs to be able to go to class.

Have a great week.
