Brian walked down to the mailbox today to get a little fresh air, he's been feeling very tired and his side has been hurting from the tumor removal.
He was thrilled to find a couple of get well cards in there. They really cheered him up. But no netflix ...guess they are a little delayed due to the snow. I know we didn't even get mail until yesterday when maintenance dug out the mailboxes....
(Super big shout out thanks to Sue and Joan for those cards...JUST what Bri needed to cheer him up.)
Last night we got another inch or so as well....I know that Brian's pretty disappointed he and Steph can't go snowboarding, or even just roll down the rather large snow pile left by the plows at the end of the driveway.
They are going to "officially" stage the cancer tomorrow after the results of the PET scan are in...but based on the tumor in the rectus sheath, as well as mesenteric and mediastinal lymph nodes, we expect it to stage out at at least 4. When Brian was first diagnosed in 2000, it was also stage 4+...so it won't be a big surprise, but nor it is very good news.
recurrent stage 4 lymphoma is difficult to cure.
Not exactly the birthday present I was looking to receive...but we will deal with each thing as they come.
This is Donna, Scott's sister please let me know where we could send things to. I will pray for Brian and all of you every single day. My e-mail add. is belleza@comcast.net or use the google one
