So...rough start to the day. Had to try to tell my staff what is going on...cried through that. I thank God I work with such amazing people. Shoot...now they know I like them. Oh well!
Remembered from yesterday...
Dr. Liao, in his VERY thorough collection of symptoms asked about any diarrhea. Kim explained that she does get it occasionally. He asked how often each day, she said maybe twice, then not again for a few days. His response? "You have very unimpressive diarrhea." Still trying to figure out if that is good or bad...though I'm still laughing my butt off about classifying diarrhea!
Today Kim had another CT scan done to determine whether or not there are more tumors in her body. Good news...no new tumors. So...now that we know that, we have a consultation scheduled for September 17th (happy birthday to my mom) where we will discuss the biopsy procedure and schedule it...most likely for Monday the 21st. We meet with Dr. Liao again on Thursday, September 24th at 9:00 AM to go over the pathology report. THEN we'll know exactly what we're facing, can seek other opinions, and move forward with a plan for treatment.
I'm continually amazed at the outpouring of support for us by friends, families, and colleagues. We truly are blessed people. Kim's strength and sense of humor is inspiring, and I marvel at how she is handling this. How she ended up with a dope like me is amazing. Our kids are great, and only want Mommy to feel better...gotta love 'em.
That's all for now. Just excited to kick cancer in the ass.

Great blog Steve. Kim is very lucky to have such a great guy (and great kids) beside her to beat this! We'll be praying and rooting for Kim's speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteSteve you are a very special person. You have to be because your married to Kim and she's special. Kim's going to be just fine with God and you by her side through all of this. Love you both. Aunt Maureen
