we still wait...

this time we are waiting for an MRI to be scheduled.

we saw the surgeon on tuesday and he looked at tims arm and saw the mass and ordered an X-ray and then looked at tims arm and saw the mass and ordered an MRI.

we are now waiting to be scheduled for an MRI and then we will go back to the surgeon so he can look at tims arm some more. can you sense my frustration!?!?!?

tim is still on the high dose steroids and "thinks" he may be seeing some improvement in his throat/esophagus but he still needs the morphine to be able to eat. i told him that he is acting like a woman going though "the change". he is HOT and cold and has mood swings and is hungry all the time...welcome to our world!!!

we don't see the oncologist again until jan 7th so hopefully all this arm "stuff" will be able to be taken care of by then. since he has been on the steroids the tumor has shrunk...this may be good but probably is bad...we were not aware until recently but i guess it is VERY COMMON for lymphoma tumors to shrink when hit with high dose steroids....but we will have to wait and see.

as always when we hear anything we will pass the info along...gotta go start my christmas shopping.

thanks for checking in.
