Pathology Report

Dr. Keefer came by today, he's the oncologist. He said that the pathology report came back and it is a plasmacytoma. They will do a bone scan and get a bone marrow sample in a few days. Those tests will be used to decide which treatment (chemo/radiation) is best. Again, this form of cancer is highly treatable, according to the doctors so that is encouraging.

Dr. White is also pleased with dads recovery and will probably start sending him to rehabilitation in a few days.

He really appreciates the prayers, and loves reading the comments on the site. Thank you!
God is good!

This is so encouraging! I talked to Nana last night & she sounded great-she just wants to hug "poor little Robert's" neck! Anyway, I'm sure he is just happy to not feel the pain he was feeling & he will feel less pain every day. Hopefully he will get home in time to enjoy the faboulous weather God has given us & walk outside! Thanks again for the constant updates. We love you all! (: Uncle George & Aunt Lori

Unc Bob:

Just wanted to drop by and let you know that my family, our Bible-study group, and our Elders at Church are all praying for you and your family. We love you and want you to know that there is yet another group of fellow-Christians who are lifting-up your name to The Lord many times each day!!

Much Love,
Randy (and family) :-)
