Don Wood Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Mixed news. The CAT scan of the chest showed that the lymph nodes were stable, so no treatment is needed right now in that area. However, she does have a new lesion on the liver. The onc says this can probably be treated with a radiowave probe. He is checking into that. We have decided to plan a short vacation -- a week's cruise around the Virgin Islands -- at the end of May. I think we need that, and it will be easy on Lucie. It is a small ship of about 150 passengers -- the size we both prefer. Would appreciate all good thoughts and prayers our way. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betplace Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 ((((Don & Lucie)))) Mixed news indeed! I am sending prayers that all gets resolved and that you get to go on that cruise. A little R&R will go a long way towards making her feel better, and you too of course. Don I want to thank you for your steadfast encouragement and support of the people on this forum. You are a wonderful amazing man, whom I admire very much for your great sense of humor and your steadfast support of Lucie and us all. Thanks Blessings Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning the cruise should be fun and help keep your minds off this darn disease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many options for treatment these days. I love your optimistic approach and plans for the future . The two of you continue to be a huge inspiration to me.

cathyr Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Don and Lucie, Sorry to hear about the new lesion, but it sounds like your doctor already has a good plan in mind. Can I sneak into your suitcase for the cruise? Great idea! Hugs to you both! Cathy R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebywater Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Have fun on that cruise! Relax and soak up some sun! Keep us posted on what you find out with the liver lesion. Good news about the stable lymph nodes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen335 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Don & Lucie, Lot's of prayers being said for Lucie. As far as the liver, it is probably just a beneign cyst. RFA has been approved for the liver. Lucie is a real strong person, our Lord has healed her and we claim the healing for her. Enjoy thinking about and making plans for your trip. God Bless, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Of course, you and Lucie have all good thoughts coming your way.
