Hello to all. We got news from Pittsburgh today. Dr. Bartlett reviewed Mark's films. He feels that the colon needs a little more time for healing and is still hopeful that it will heal up on it's own. They want to wait on chemo as to allow for better healing time and not stress the body or tissues any more. Mark will have another test to see if the colon has healed in one month. We will pray very hard that it has healed and we can procede with the next surgery. It still makes me a little nervous waiting this long before restarting the chemo. I am a bit paranoid maybe. I know that Mark is thoroughly enjoying the break from chemo and it feels good to see him feeling so good.
Dr. Farmer's office will set up Mark's next test and an appointment for him to come in and get his port flushed. It hasn't been used in a while and they will have to flush it with anticoagulants so that it will not form a clot. Other than that, Mark will be free from Dr. appointments for the next month.
Continue to pray for healing, especially the fistulas in Mark's colon so that Dr. Bartlett's team can finish their work and we can procede with the next step in treatment. God bless!!!!
