From Travis

If you have not seen Stacy's post, I should let you know the biopsy results came in on the ulcer and it's not cancerous. We had gotten the same news before after the colonoscopy but it's nice to know for sure. Now we just need to wait and rescan the questionable area outside the colon in a few months (we cannot run a biopsy on it without very invasive and risk heavy surgery). Once we get the final word about that I can officially say I'm in remission as long as nothing else sneaks up before then.
So far so good.

Still waiting

Well 19 days after Travis' ultrasound we have no results. Trav is supposed to get a return call tomorrow, we will see! It's not like we are waiting to see if Trav has cancer...oh wait!! Trav has Avastin every other week still, his blood work was great this last week! Grateful for all those who have stuck with us and still supporting us!

Happy Valentines Day!

 

Made our day yesterday! So fun!

From Travis:

Just an update. I still have not received a definitive result to my most recent test. What HAS come back shows negative, but in the report itself it states it should not be used for diagnosis. So I wait... again.

Waiting

 

Why does it always take longer then I think it should!?! Waiting for Travis' MRI!

Results

Travis heard from Dr. Sandhu! He said that all test deny cancer or malignancy! He suggest rescanning in a few months!

4 years

I'm so grateful to those that have been there to support me! While Travis is at the center of this, its been rough on me and the kids too and so I appreciate those who offer kind words and prayers for me, beyond just supporting Trav! Had a bummer day today and we will update as we get better results, but Trav has a scan Monday and we are praying for something good. It's been 4 years since my kids got sick, which got Trav sick, which gave him the sinus infection that caused him to take an anti-biotic that caused the stubborn c. Diff, that gave them a reason to scope him, which is how we found the cancer. 4 years, crazy!

Rough day

Yesterday was exhausting! We waited over 3 hours before they took Travis back, had an awful nurse who just guessed on what we were doing, instead of reading the notes on the file saying Trav was to be sedated and was getting biopsies. She was a jerk to me, and Trav had to fight with her to get her to do exactly what she was supposed to. The procedure was an hour and a half, instead of the 15 to 30 minutes we were expecting. I walk into recovery and Trav groggily tells me he heard him say something about cancer. I tried to stay optimistic, but was devastated. They gave him anti-biotics...no one could tell us why and no one asked permission to do so, but it added an hour to us waiting in recovery. The Dr comes in and tells us it looked like cancer, the ulcer is huge and it's deep and looks like a cancerous mass, however, the early pathology report came back not cancerous which surprised him. 

I was asked this morning how I was doing and I started bawling...I got better...but it was an unnecessarily rough day yesterday! So...now we wait a week for results! On the positive side my husband is amazing and had me rolling in laughter yesterday! I adore him! My parents rock, balancing things yesterday, I seriously don't know how I would get through this without their constant perfect support! I can't wait for conference tomorrow!!
