Things have been busy here. I'm still here in Utah for treatment. I had a scan in February which revealed that there were a few more spots left over after chemo than we had hoped. I underwent 20 days of radiation for a month. After radiation I had another scan in May. This showed two spots on my lung that had grown since the previous scan. They had no idea what it was. They thought it might be anything from a fungal infection to more cancer, cancer being at the bottom of the list. Typically my type of cancer does not go to the lung. I was scheduled to have a CT biopsy on May 31st. They stuck a 17 gauge hollow needle through my back, pinning my diaphragm and into my lung to try to obtain fluid from this spot. The following week I was told that they didn't get enough of a sample. I meet with the Dr tomorrow to find out for sure what's next, but they're thinking of sending me to a pulmonary specialist and will do another scan the end of August. Lilly and I are planning on visiting Memphis for a couple weeks this summer.
Lilly is huge! She looks like a little person now instead of a baby. She has most of her teeth, eats (well tries) pretty much anything. She is very happy and fun to be around. She is into everything. She loves going outside and literally runs everywhere. Both her knees are skinned from the pavement. She cries when she has to come inside. The last couple of days however have been in the high 90's and it's been impossible to go out unless it's early morning or late evening. It's still 90 at 8pm!
Presley is doing well. This week he has been sick with what they thought was a sinus (bacterial infection). He is going back to the Dr. today because he still feels week and tired. He now works as a registered nurse at Methodist Hospital. We are so proud of him that he was able to pass his exams and obtain his license.
