As you may or may not know, Dad went to MD Anderson and got a GI Endoscopy done on his esophagus along with a CT scan on the neck on Tuesday, Feb 25th. The results on the GI Endoscopy was that he had a mass on his esophagus again. They did a biopsy on the mass to see if it was cancerous or not. Furthermore, he got a CT scan on chest and ABD on Wednesday, Feb 26th. Today, Feb 27th, we found out the results. The biopsy showed that it is cancerous. Plus, there were more cancer cells in several lymph nodes around the neck area.
To say the least, my family is devastated. This will be the 3rd time the cancer has come back for my Dad… this time it’s really hitting my dad as far as emotions. All of Dad’s MD Anderson doctors are going to meet next Tuesday, Mar 4th to discuss what the next step is. Most likely, there will be chemo involved. Due the nature where the current cancer is, Dad has already been radiated in those spots. Therefore, radiation is off the table. On Monday March 10th, that’s when Dad’s one doctor will sit down with him and discuss options.
I ask you to pray for my Dad as he journeys into fighting cancer again. We have beaten cancer twice now and we will beat it again… 3 times is a lucky charm. Go Team C!!!
