Well everyone I just wanted to let you all know that the Cunningham family has had some prayers answered this week. First after several months with Dennis having a feeding tube hanging from his belly he finally got to have his feeding tube removed. Yes, he is eating regular food. I still have to get on him on eating because he doesn’t want to eat or drink much but he is eating and that is the million dollar answer. He was having so many problems with the feeding tube. But since he has been on regular food now for about 3 1/2 weeks they said it could come out. Wow was Dennis ready for that, he said he has his belly back. Now we just have to wait for the hole to heal that the tube was in and it won’t even be noticeable.
The second prayer answered is today he went and had his GI Endoscope done at MD Anderson. Well GREAT news the doctor says in his report the following:
- The esophagus remarkable for the streaks of shallow ulceration in the mid esophagus. The mass previously seen at 30-35 cm was no longer visible; this area had finely mildly nodular mucosa; biopsies were done. The distal portion of the esophagus was unremarkable. The stomach appeared to be normal. The pylorus appeared to be normal, symmetrical, and patent. The duodenum appeared to be normal.
So everyone, one down and one to go. The big test is coming up on the 20th of May. He will have a PET scan that will show if or where the cancer still is. Of course we have to see what the biopsies show, hopefully they will be back by the 20th. The doctor said that Dennis responded to the radiation very well!!!! YEA!!!!!!!
So everyone thank you for those prayers they are working. We still need those prayers coming in so keep on praying!
