That's right, still counting. Trent received round 27 yesterday and on Tuesday we learned that there will be one more round before surgery. The surgery has been moved back to May 31 to allow time for all the paperwork to be done to get clearance for Dr. Friedberg to do surgery in Utah. So, in the meantime, Trent will have one more round of chemo, then get about three weeks of rest before the big day. This is going to be a very intense surgery. When we spoke with Dr. Carr on the phone the other day he kept saying, "This is a massive surgery." Yeah, yeah, we get it, this is HUGE!!!!
There are all sorts of risks that have been laid out for us and we are well aware. At one point Dr. Carr said if there was even an iota of hesitation or doubt we should not be doing this surgery. I teared up a bit and told him that I understood that there are no guarantees with this surgery but there is a guarantee if we don't do it and I am not interested in that kind of guarantee. So, all systems are go for the biggest adventure, no...experience, no...LEAP OF FAITH of our lives.

ReplyDeleteFaith is all you need. It is, and always was, in God's hands. I will be praying like crazy for you guys! Doctors have to go by reality. But we all know that reality is only God's already perfect plan. And we have heard of many blessings about His plan for Trent.

ReplyDeletemy comment was removed? why? i was just expressing my doubts and honest concerns about the upcoming surgery. i was not offending.
ReplyDeleteWe appreciate your concern and we know your comment was not malicious in any way. However, our children also read this blog and we felt is was better for them not to see that. We are very concerned about the surgery as well but our faith is greater than our fear and we are choosing to keep things very positive.
DeletePraying. Still thinking about ya, Trent!
