Friday Nov 18, 2011

It's been a whirlwind past 2 weeks with seeing Dr. Klass at Kennestone, having a low dose of radiation of the lower back to hopefully reduce the tumor in the lower sacrum and help relieve the numbness and pain in his legs. We went to see Dr. Viraj Master at Emory who is a Urologist Oncologist. 2 days later we saw Dr. Wayne Harris at Emory who specializes in kidney cancer and is the only doctor who does a treatment call Interleukin II that could prayerfully cure the kidney cancer and keep it from spreading anywhere else. We will also be seeing Dr. Monsoon who is an Orthopedist Oncologist. These 3 doctor are all at Emory and an integral part of Scott's team.

Today is Friday Nov 18 and Scott had his right kidney removed yesterday. He has done AWESOME. He's already eating, walking the halls and his pain is more of a soreness. He doesn't even have the numbness in his legs and feet! Once he has recovered from the surgery they will start the treatments of the Interleukin II. This has been a very emotional couple of weeks as you can imagine but through it all I have felt a sense of comfort and peace. I know they say stage IV and I know Scott has a fight ahead of him but as my dad says if anyone can beat this Scott can and the way he has handled this news and the past two weeks is AMAZING!
I can't thank everyone enough for the calls, texts, offers to help, and PRAYERS! I know GOD will see us through this and Scott will be a cancer survivor.
