Chest Scan
Greetings All,
Nathan’s chest Scan was today, Monday, September 22, 2008. The results revealed that the nodule in the right lung has doubled in size since his last Scans in June. The doctor is recommending removing this growth surgically since it is not possible to know whether it is a fungus or part of the cancer that has started to grow. The doctor did a bone marrow biopsy today and has scheduled a brain MRI for tomorrow (Tuesday) and a pelvis/abdomen Scan for Friday. These are all precautionary measures to make sure the disease is not in these areas. Following these tests, the plan is to have the mass growing in the right lung removed. Needless to say, this was disappointing news for us. We hope the nodule growing in the right lung is a fungus, however, if it is the recurrence of the cancer, removing it now can prevent it from spreading. Thank you for keeping Nathan and us in your prayers.
Tim, Carol & Nathan

Nathan,
Know that we are all praying (a lot!) for you and your family as you go through the next few days.

As God would have it, I thought about you last night during my workout. I was praying for a friend of mine who is facing some medical tests soon, and asked God to give her the energy and peace she needs to get through everything. After thanking God for all the work He has done in your life, I asked Him to give you the same peace and energy(not knowing about your current situation). It amazes me how God works with us. He is an awesome God and has brought you this far. His hand will continue to be upon you and your family, and His blessings will continue to flow upon you.
