Happy Saturday to all of my friends, family, and blog readers. This post has taken me a little time--I had to decide whether to post and if so, how to do it. I got my most recent CT Scan results. They were not exactly what I was hoping to see, but they did have some happy results.
They said that I have an "unremarkable...pancreas, gallbladder and adrenals...as well as the bilateral kidneys. When dealing with cancer, unremarkable is a good thing. They also said that I have "a 3-4 mm low density lesion in the dome of the liver" which hopefully is just the previous spot that was on my liver (we thought that it was gone, but perhaps it was just hiding during the last scan). They also found a "3 mm lung nodule seen in the right lower lobe" and that they question the "significance" of it. Hopefully, it's nothing.
So, here's the plan--we wait until my next CT Scan to see if there are any changes (growth, shrinkage, or disappearance) in the areas indicated above. Waiting's not fun, but a person can only have so many CT Scans without having enough radiation to glow in the dark and set off Geiger counters.
Of other news, my dog, Cleo will be having her surgery on Saturday Oct. 18. She'll be in the doggie hospital for a day and a half. Bowie (our Boston Terrier) has promised to do his best to be a good nurse while Cleo is healing. Also, I'm getting older (it beats the option of not getting older!). I'm turning 38 on Sunday and plan to celebrate with some family. Cheers to all and please pass the spot remover...

Hi Tim -
Happy 38th Birthday. You may think that seems like you're getting older, but trust me, 10 years from now you'll know that 38 was nothin'! Sorry to miss your party. Hopefully you have a lot of good friends and family that will be able to celebrate with you. We continue to pray to The Spot Remover for you. And give Cleo a good scratch on our behalf.

We will look forward to the spot remover working and doing its magic for you.
As I recal in our last meeting with the surgon in Los Angeles he told us that the spot on the liver might have still been there but did not show in the prior CT scan.
We need to focus on the positive, how great you have been feeling and doing.
How can you be turning 38 when I continue to be so young?
Lets have a party tomorrow and celebrate that you and Cleo are doing so good.
Love from Dad
