A few people have messaged me, wondering what is going on, and why I haven't posted more. I returned back to work, and activities have resumed, so it has been on my to-do list for a while.
Things have been quiet for Matthew lately. He has been resting his body in preparation for surgery. This means that he hasn't had any treatments or doctor visits lately, so there hasn't been much to share. He has been continuing to work with our Dad to house repairs. Most recently, he has painted some of his ceilings.
Today, he had another round of tests at M.D. Anderson in preparation for the surgery. He was scheduled to have a PET scan. A PET scan is a nuclear medicine imaging technique. In a PET scan, the cancer will actually "light up." However, upon arriving at the hospital this morning they learned that the insurance placed a 72 hour review on the procedure. Although not an outright denial, the timing did not allow for them to wait and reschedule. Matthew ended up having another traditional CAT scan. On Monday he will meet with the surgeon again in preparation for the surgery. As of now, surgery is still scheduled for the 20th, so he is only 10 days away.
Emily requested this song for Matthew. "Now that that don't kill me, can only make me stronger."
More updates when we have more information.
