Well the ups and downs of a cancer diagnosis continue. Last week we had an appointment with Dr. Weinstein to get Devin's PET Scan results. It was not a good news day. There are some areas of the PET Scan that lit up where some of the scar tissue is and since he doesn't have any other post surgery Scan to compare it to Devin will have a MRI tomorrow and an ultra sound on Tuesday to see if it is scar tissue and not disease. He's pretty positive it's nothing but since it was a large tumor and an extremely aggressive cancer we and he don't want to take any chances. He also cancelled surgery. He would like her to wait 3 months until he can do another PET Scan to compare before Dr. Canaday starts moving things around in her mouth.

While she waits patiently (well maybe not so patiently) Devin will be concentrating on her physical therapy. He will be working on strengthening her shoulder and regaining her stamina. Also she is working toward finally getting rid of her feeding tube which has proved to be a challenge as one of the criteria is maintaining her weight which has been an issue .

Please continue to keep her and us in your prayers as we continue on this long journey of ups and downs.

Thank you all for your encouragement, and for keeping her in your prayers. Knowing you are all rooting for her really helps. She has to go on COBRA for her benefits so that cost and continuing medical bills put a strain on the budget  so if you would like to donate to help Devin with her medical expenses here is a link to her Go Fund Me site. Thank you so much to those who have already donated.

Hugs,
