Hard to believe that it has only been ten days since Dad came home from the hospital. His leg hasn't hurt since, praise the Lord!
Dad has followed up with an oncology radiologist, as well as a surgeon specializing in bone tumors. The surgeon gave him the all-clear to walk on his leg and doesn't feel that surgery is needed at this time. Woo-hoo! That clears the way for some radiation treatments to ensure the pain doesn't return. The chemo should stop the tumor from doing any more damage, and the shot he gets with it will continue to strengthen his bones and hopefully prevent this from happening again elsewhere. He's scheduled to see the radiologist on Friday to get all scanned, measured, and fitted with a "jig" to ensure each treatment pinpoints the exact location, then he'll be set to get started.
There's no reason Dad's pain should have stopped and not returned - except your prayers. Thank you for your faithfulness in praying for Dad and for your support of the family. Many thanks to those who brought meals, visited at home and in the hospital, and helped in a myriad of other ways. The Lord has started us on an interesting journey and it is comforting to know that so many are traveling along with us.
