So for those who have been following Dave's cancer situation, here is the latest.... Today is FINALLY the PET scan...after 5, yes 5, denials from insurance, he is having it today. It should reveal where the cancer is, in it's entirety, we hope. He finished his 6th chemo treatment almost 2 weeks ago, and most of the side effects have diminished. He meets with the surgeon on the 1st of September, where he will schedule the surgery.

He had a challenging week at work, due to the fact it was refresher training, requiring lots of physical activity, but he sailed through it quite well. I was able to be with him for the physical part, just in case. No injuries were sustained, which was the point for my presence.

Now, after almost 4 months of not knowing the extent of the cancer, it will finally be known, and I have to say, I am scared %#*%#!$&*((. I have left this all in the Hands of the Good Lord, but being human, there is still that gut-wrenching fear, until I know what we're up against.

So here's where all of you awesome folks come in...once again I ask for your prayers, that if there HAS to be cancer, that it is confined to the immediate locale of the tumor. That it is minimal, that it will be successfully removed during surgery, that the chemo has done it's work in destroying it. That it hasn't spread to any other areas of the body. That he WILL be cured, and it is put into remission...for good. Your constant support and prayers have been most welcome, most appreciated, and I ask that God bless you all, forever. Thank you, and I'll keep you posted when we get results.

Im coming in late to this, but sending big hugs and prayers to both of you !!!

My mom had colon cancer years ago, she did very well after surgery. Im trying to remember what we had for her eat/ drink to gain weight and be healthy. I remember a Magic Bullet, protein powder to make drinks, and Mannatech products. (Google Mannatech.com for more info ) Thinking of you both !! Sending good katma your way !

Thank you, Lord, for the answered prayers and strength for Jenifer and Dave!!! Continue to be with them every moment of every day, giving them strength for this journey and your peace that passes all understanding. You know everything they need as they plan and prepare for Dave's surgery. As we continue to pray without ceasing for this couple.......

Amen

Sending continued prayers for strength and peace. So happy the news is good, and it sounds like you have the best medical team surrounding you.

Prayers for your hubby cancer is scary business but I can be beaten

You guys are THE BEST!!!!!! Sometimes I get so down, thinking of the "what if's", then there you are again and pick me up off the floor! What would I do without you? Sometimes the "scaries" get the better of me, as they did this afternoon, then I come back to this site, just to see what's going on, and it's as if you READ MY MIND and make it all better! I couldn't ask for more, and I CERTAINLY HAVE THE BEST!!!! And in case you didn't get it from my HIGHLY dramatized cap-lock wonders...I LOVE YOU LOTS!!!!! God bless all of you, and more updates as we know more......October 7th is not far away......

P.S. Dave is doing great being off the chemo for a month now, back to his jolly old self, and up to NO GOOD by always smacking my backside EVERY time he walks by me.....the chemo???? Or not????!!! All I know is it is sore, and will get a BRIEF vacation once the surgery is done! A little fatigue remains, but otherwise he feels great, and I am SOOOO thankful I cannot say.....have a great evening, all.......

Sending hugs and good karma your way !!!!
