The combination of the MRI results and the Biopsy provided the following diagnosis:
Stage IV Adenocarcinoma Cancer
The cancer appears to be started in the lungs but the Dr. isn't sure yet. What we do know is that the cancer has spread throughout his body (the definition of Stage IV) and is also in his bones and spine...this is what is causing his leg/hip pain.
A PET scan has been scheduled for 4/11 but we are hopeful to get in next week. We meet with the Oncologist who will oversee Dad during this time (Dr. Kim) on Monday 4/4 in Poulsbo.
The PET scan will provide the full extent of the cancer throughout his body

Hi Jim & Sherry,
ReplyDeleteMy mom just emailed me this. I'm so sorry to hear about this difficult time you are forced to endure. Tony and I are praying for you both, for peace, for answers, for healing! We serve a BIG God, and a God of miracles. We are hopeful for healing. Love and blessings to you and your sweet, beautiful family.
Much Love,
Tony & Becky Nelson (Richards)
PRAYING!!!!!!! This is a really rough one, but as we know, from Sherry's situation, Mary's situation, etc. GOD can do wonderful, amazing marvelous things.
ReplyDeleteMy heart was already heavy after talking to my ex-mother-in-law last night with my ex-father-in-law going on hospice today, but he is 82 years old. Jim is young! We don't know the Lord's plans, only that He is good and faithful.
Hugs,
Andy and Rosemary

Rest brother Jim and know that you are being bathed in prayer. Now go get a piece of cherry pie with ice cream!
Love you,
