Please Pray

So much has happened since my last post.  Dust finished his last radiation without too many problems.  He didn't have the horrible stomach issues that we were told he might have, his main problem was fatigue.  He had a hard time keeping his eyes.  We were happy to get back home to our house, our boys and our babies (Bean and Baby).  We did enjoy Tulsa for the 4 weeks we were there, but we decided the next time we spend 4 weeks away from home we are going to Hawaii. 

After his radiation treatments he went back for a 2 week follow-up with the Radiation Oncology NP and his favorite Oncology NP, both said he was doing great and he would have a follow up scan in October (this appointment was back in August).  Since then he has been doing OK, he has tried to walk every day (he is up to 5 miles a day).

 He was slowly getting his energy back.  About 4  weeks ago I  noticed he was sleeping longer, his color was pale and his abdomen was getting bigger (like it did when he was first diagnosed).  He also started complaining of increased back pain and stomach burning and pain.  I called his oncologist and they wanted a scan sooner than October, but his Dr was on vacation (no Dr, no scan).  After a few days they called back and made an appointment for the scan to be 9-17, then to see his Dr for review 9-21.

Dustin is in Tulsa getting his scan as I am writing this.  We will wait until Friday for the results, that will be the longest 4 days!

Please pray for a clean scan and that his symptoms are just left over side effects from radiation.
