Cautious Optimism

Those were the words the doctor used.....and we all exhaled.

Matthew had a CT scan today.  We don't know the results of it until tomorrow, so for today, we have cautious optimism--and we are thrilled.  It will not be an easy year.  Matthew will have to have 2 months of chemo, another surgery to remove the tumor on his liver, another 4 months of chemo, and then another surgery to resect his colon.  It will be a long road, but for now, the doctor was cautiously optimistic about his outlook. 

Matthew says he is most grateful that he doesn't have to have radiation.  He also says it takes a long time to get an answer from doctors, and that he doesn't like CT scans...

We are grateful for the prayers, they are working, but keep up the prayers because we aren't out of the woods yet.
