Not much news today.
.
I'm breathing well with the temporary stint that's preventing my trachea from collaping.
Tomorrow, the staff will determine exactly what the tumor is and will prepare my treatment. I will get those done here at the Cleveland Clinic. Once the tumor gets smaller and relieves pressue from my lungs, they will remove the stint.
I have a lot of tests tomorrow, possibly another biopsy, and then the final diagnosis. I appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. I feel the energy from them.
The coolest part of the day was that I had a scope shoved down my nose that looked at my vocal cords and other parts to make sure they were ok.

Hi again,
ReplyDeleteBill I don't know how much running you've been doing recently. I used to be active on the runners world forums. There is a woman on there named Jenny who went through treatments at the Cleaveland clinic. Her doc was Tim Spiro - although she thought all the doctors there were very good. If you have some time, you might find some of the runners world posts interesting (Jenny's online name is thelearnedfoot).
Here's her blog with her story. I find her incredibly inspiring:

We are praying for Bill and the Richard family here in Lebanon OH! We are very optimistic Bill for you, as we dealt with non-hodgkins lymphoma for over 26 years with Karen's mom and were amazed at the progress in medicine for treating it during that time. God Bless! The Sullivans
