Dad went Monday for his weekly blood work and his first CAT scan on the liver since they did the biopsy. The blood work results were all good, except for one thing (he couldn't remember what it was) that has to do with the reason he is so bloated. He said the nurse took one look at his feet and her eyes got really big, so he is now on a diuretic. Yay! The bloating has been a real problem for him as of late, so we are hoping this will help. He said he did nothing but pee the first day he took it!
He doesn't get the results of his liver scan until tomorrow (Thursday). He has to call down to get those, which he is not happy about. We are wondering what happened to the days when doctors delivered test results in person. He actually got the news that he had cancer over the phone. He really was not a happy camper about that. And who would be? So apparently he will get his CAT scan results over the phone as well. I'll let you know those results as soon as I know something.

Perhaps you have read this. My mother got a copy from her oncologist and it meant a lot to her:
What Cancer Cannot Do
~Cancer is limited
Cancer cannot cripple love
Cancer cannot shatter hope
Cancer cannot erode faith
Cancer cannot destroy peace
Cancer cannot kill friendship
Cancer cannot destroy memories
Cancer cannot silence courage
Cancer cannot invade the soul
Cancer cannot steal eternal life
Cancer cannot conquer the spirit
Cancer is limited.....
