Holding Pattern

After finishing his radiation and chemo treatments in the beginning of August, Tom had a CTScan to determine the effectiveness of treatments and help us plan what comes next. We were hoping our meeting with  Tom's oncologist, Dr. DeGraca on the 15th would accomplish that, but he had not spoken to the surgeon, Dr. Parsons yet so we were put on hold. We were told that the rectal tumor had shrunken quite a bit, but the one on the sacrum had grown some. Dr. Parson's office  finally called and set up an appointment, so we figure if the surgeon wants to see him, he is considering surgery. We are in a holding pattern.

I have just waited almost an hour for the other photos I wanted to include in this post  to download.  Pictures of berries we picked by the road, shots of Skyline Tavern where Tom continues to throw horseshoes, the lights inside the Regal Evergreen Theater where we sat in their awesome reclining seats and enjoyed Ghostbusters, a shot of the Godzilla figure Tom bought with Allison's giftcard ready to fight the Barley Bobblehead we got at a Hops game, are all sitting on the screen with their bars showing they are loading, but never actually finishing downloading or letting me cancel.

Oh well, all things appear to be in a holding pattern now.  When we finally meet with Dr. Parsons, I'll let you know what's happening next.
