Hello to all. The beach trip was fun for all. Mark was a little wiped out, but managed okay as he always does. He couldn't go out on the beach because the neuropathy he has in his feet left over from the first chemo makes the sand painful for him. He skipped the beach and took naps in the room in the afternoon which worked out okay. Colton's team did well. They were 5 wins and 2 losses for the tournament. Their 2 losses were close and both by 1 run. The boys all played well. Most of them got buzz cuts and then shaved their numbers in the backs of their heads. It was pretty cute.
Mark got an email from Dr. Farmer today. She heard from Pittsburgh. They feel that the CT scan did show metastatic disease in the abdomen and it wasn't just inflammation and thickening. Mark's surgeon is out of town and won't be back for a little while. There is a possibility that they can go back in there and surgically remove the disease again. We will see. He has a lot of scarring from the previous surgery and heated chemo. We are praying that this is possible and very do-able. Mark is feeling pretty good right now. He still has some pain now and then, but he is getting to his feel good time in the chemo cycle. We live for those.
Mark is planning a big cajun cookout here this weekend for Colton's baseball team with all the cooking being done by Mark, including a cajun boil, jumbalaya, red beans and rice and gumbo so you see he is feeling pretty okay. He chose to do this!!!!!! Sounds just like Mark doesn't it.
Continue to keep Mark in your prayers. God bless!!!!
