Cancer - Take Two!

 As Colon Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, please don't forget to be checked!

On April 22, 2015 I took my last chemo treatment. Almost a year!

In early March, an appointment was made to have a CAT Scan to wrap this cancer journey up!! Charles was with me when the doctor told me it looked like a spot on my lung. He was not real worried about it, said it was not consistent with colon cancer, but he ordered a PET Scan to be sure.

On March 10, I had the PET Scan that gave the results. Lung - No Problem! But two lesions were found on my liver. I am so grateful Dr. Hill pushed to find out about the lung...if not, my liver would have gone undetected.

When Colon cancer escapes the colon, it can metastasis in liver. Having Stage IV colon cancer, I am blessed that it is only in my liver.

So...detour up ahead. I was sent to the Premier Intervention Radiology Clinic. 
Dr. Jeffery Howard is an intervention radiologist. And I believe also, a radiology oncologist. Whew. He will preform an microwave ablation on Wednesday, March 30, 2016. I understood from the nurse, that he has been using this treatment for about a year. (Click on the link to find out more about the procedure...in a nutshell, he is going to ZAP! my liver with radiation by going inside with the instrument.)

I realize now I had blocked out putting out an update because the reality of having this re-occurrence makes it real. But, as a precious friend pointed out to me...how would my friends and prayer warriors know to pray!!!???

Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I will keep you posted on this wonderful newer form of treatment.

Just as with me, many of my Cancer Peeps who were in treatment with me are also back at it.

Please pray for:
 Loraine - colon cancer metastasized to lymph nodes
Charles G - metastasized to liver
Mr. T - Colon Cancer re-occurred.
