Results of Second Biopsy

Benign.

Now what.

We don't know why the lymph nodes are enlarged.
We don't know why he has nausea after eating.
We don't know why he has no appetite.
We don't know what is causing the ridge from his belly button up that extends 2 inches from it's norm.

We do know that he does not have an infection.
We do know that the EGD (ie run a scope down the throat into the stomach) only found a small hiatal hernia.
We do know that something is wrong.

Now another appointment with the surgeon and options that need to be explored.

Please continue to pray for all cancer and dementia patients, their families and caregivers.

Second lymph node removed

The surgeon removed a second lymph node from DH left underarm yesterday. He also did an endoscopy of the stomach and esophagus. There was a large swelling under the original surgery and he removed lymph fluid.

The endoscopy revealed a small hiatal hernia and nothing else. The second lymph node did not have any external signs other than it was enlarged as the first one. We will get the results Friday morning.

DH also had the triple culture test of his blood. They checked the culture at 24, 48 and 72 hours and there is no infection. We are ruling one thing out at a time.

Please continue to pray for cancer and dementia patients and their caregivers, families and friends.

Bless you today and every day.
