Cancer FREE

The report was good. Two tumors were found but all margins were negative. The Doctor said, "There are no 100%'s in medicine but this is as close as it gets!"

We are slowly getting back into the swing of things. Thank you for all the prayers and cards.

As we look back we can see how God was walking with us during this journy.

Life at Home...ahhhh

It feels so great to be at home. We both camped out in the living room last night---Scott in one of the recliners and me on the couch. It really worked well. I could hear him if he needed help and he said I wasn't even mean when he tried to wake me up! Whew! You'll have to ask the girls about those stories! It seems the only time I really get nasty is subconsciously!

The drive home was careful but good. We stopped every half hour to walk and once for meds. He did really well. He needed help in and out of the car and we were still racing snails with our walking but we made it without extra damage. yay!

The shower at home felt good and Scott has been sleeping inbetween walks and meds today. We go back to the Dr. on Tuesday for the lab results. We totally trust God that they will be good. The Dr. said it would shock him if there was anything abnormal left in there---another yay God! Thanks everyone for all the prayers. I truly believe they move mountains.

Going home!

Our Physician's Asst. came in this morning and said Scott is good to go home! He has done so well. Still no news on the pathololgy report but we will get that for sure on the 2nd when we come back for our post-op appt. We decided to go to Hermiston. He really wants to be at home. So three days at home before he comes back will feel good I think. Pam and Lee stopped by yesterday, and Michelle! Wow, thanks guys! Bill and Laura of course are at their condo here and have been checking in often. Everything means so much. See you at home! Yay!

Doing well!

Scott has walked around the floor of this wing of the hospital again and is looking and sounding better every hour! Alissa and her boyfriend, Matt came by. He loved seeing them. Mom went home after lunch. It was so good to have her with me. Also, Pam and Lee just came by! Thanks everyone! No other news from the Dr. yet.

So much better!

Scott took a shower this morning (sitting on a bench, with help) but he said it felt so much better. He also walked the circle on his floor three times with me. I decided I should do some high knees as I walked because we weren't really moving faster than a slug. He is sleeping really great now. I'm just so thankful for everyone's prayers. I love that the Dr. said there is no cancer in the lymph nodes! Yes! Also, the Dr. saw no evidence of cancer outside the prostate. We will know officially on that soon. God is great.

It's Over!!!!

The doctor just came out and said he is in recovery! Yay! It all went well and there is NO lymph node involvement! It will take 2 to 7 days before the pathology report comes back on the prostate itself, but the Dr. said that he saw no evidence that it had gone outside the prostate. We feel blessed!

3:00 Weds.

I decided this is a wonderful hospital. They just called my cell phone from surgery! They said they had a hard time with the catheter so it slowed the start of surgery. We had a pretty slow start anyway. He was not wheeled in until 1:15. The Dr. had a meeting that went long this morning and another surgery ahead of Scott. So, they said it is all going well. I asked for specifics but she didn't have any at the time. Just wanted to let you all know what I know. I'm not expecting to hear anymore until about 4. Thanks everyone for praying. I am feeling stress just from waiting but am still very positive about how this will all turn out.
