Focused on the Goal

We are still waiting for a course of action but the good news is the PET scan came back clear. I spoke with the oncology doctor's assistant, Toni, at 3:30pm this afternoon. She said that the 3 doctors were on the phone until about 10pm last night talking about Denny's case. Since the PET is clear, there has been more dialog between the ENT and the Neurosurgeon regarding surgery. The ENT is considering a "mapping biopsy". As I understand it, he would go around the margins of the tumor taking biopsies to see if that area was clear. If it is and he has enough room to do the procedure, he may consider surgery. Nothing is clear at this point. They expect to come to some sort of decision tomorrow. We are standing by waiting for word. It will be posted on the blog just as soon as we know. Please continue to say a prayer that more can be done. We are hearing all the love, prayers and encouragement coming through even if we haven't answered. At the moment, we are focused on one goal; to get Denny out of the clutches of this terrible disease.
