Today was a big day. We had several rather important appointments at the VA hospital this morning and we we're a bit nervous going into them. The first appointment was simply a visit to the clinic where they drew his blood and made sure everything looked fine. And everything looked fine.
The next appointment was an X-Ray of his chest. The goal was to determine how the lung cancer had progressed. And as expected the cancer has grown. Cancer does this. But the good news is that the growth is very small since April, which was the date of the last X-Ray.
It sucks having to be happy about the cancer growing slightly, but growing slightly is much better than growing significantly. So today was a pretty good day. We left in good spirits.

I'm glad that it is only slightly! I hope the pain is easy off to! Them pain pills are horrible, they work, but they really put you into another world! I hope you are getting these! Love you guys! Diana
Now that they have reduced his Oxycontin from 30mg to 20mg per day he is much more mentally alert. He has very little pain and the pain that he does have is not likely to be related to cancer.
