After a roller coaster of a night in our hotel room, we met with Holly this morning. Jeremy's vitals were checked as well as his 12 inch incision. It is looking good and healing well. We discussed how his meds were working out, immunizations due to the removal of his spleen, nutrition due to the removal of his gall bladder, and any suggested vitamin supplements. We also received the pathology report and Dr. Loggie's surgery notes.
One of the three lymph nodes that was removed was found to have more aggressive cancer cells compared to everything else which was still found to be low-grade. Therefore, Dr. Loggie recommended Jeremy start chemo treatments in four to six weeks and to continue for six months. Once the chemo is complete, Jeremy will return to Omaha for another MRI and a follow up with Dr. Loggie and Holly.
Prognosis is still the same...50-50 on 12 years. However, we are determined to prolong this by continuing to practice our faith, staying fit, eating healthy, and keeping a positive attitude. Still a lot of things to do in this life...personally and with family.
Our tickets are confirmed and we should be back home to our boys tomorrow night.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
