But I will jot down the details of last week's scan and get to the big stuff later. We went in for a scan on Wednesday. Trent and I were feeling good about it but just a little nervous too. When we got to the Huntsman it was like a family reunion. It was so fun to see all of our friends there. They were all thrilled to see Trent doing so well and getting a little hair!
This is from two weeks ago---just starting to see a shadow of hair on his head. |
When we got back to the exam room it seemed like we waited forever. Finally Dr. Jones popped his head in and basically just chatted with us for a bit. He didn't examine Trent's hip but just asked how things were going. He is a great guy and it is so nice to relate to him on a religious level too. Shortly after his visit Dr. Gouw came in with Katie. He said the scans looked good on first inspection, but going over with a fine tooth comb, there is a spot to watch. It is most likely fluid on his lungs. I guess because it is right on the fissue between two lobes of his lung (can't remember which side they said it was) it is more likely that it is fluid, not cancer. But because we want to be extra cautious we are going to have another scan in two months instead of three. At that time we will have an MRI on his hip too. Dr. Gouw did confirm that we are still in the land of NED. We will take that victory and run with it!
