Scan Results!!!

First I have to apologize for the delay in updating the blog. Our dr. was on vacation for a while and we received preliminary results until he returned. Since he knows JohnMichaels situation I didnt want any surprises. The scans are CLEAR for the most part. Praise GOD!!! :) The area where his cancer was removed and where the lymph nodes were taken out still show tissue build up from the surgery. Once that heals his scans will show more detail of those areas. They can see that nothing there has really changed as far as anything else growing. From his first scan they were worried about the lymph nodes being enlarged...that is why the ones in the neck were removed and were cancer free. There were still other lymph nodes that were enlarged but it is nearly immposible to get every lymph node thats enlarged. They say its like finding a needle in a haystack. On this scan it still showed the lymph nodes enlarged but they have not gotten bigger than the previous scan so they are not worried at this point. The dr. Says it is a starting point. The lymph nodes are innocent until proven guilty. Hahaha! Which means if they dont continue to get bigger then there is no cancer because cancer grows and spreads!!!! We are so blessed and thankful for this outcome! John Michael is doing great. We are in the process of potty traing...wish me luck! Hahaha....he is doing better then I thought he would. Miranda is starting preschool Sept. 6th and It has not sunkin' in yet. Time goes so fast...dont blink and cherish every moment! Thanks again for all of the support and prayers! John Michaels next scan will be at the end of October so I will keep everyone updated. Hope everyone has had a great summer!
