We wait again . . .

Phil and I are headed home tomorrow, after being in Salt Lake for the past week. Today they took five biopsies from Phil's liver. He tolerated the procedure well, including two hours in recovery. It will take a week for the colon biopsies to culture, and 72 hours for the liver biopsies. We were hoping to see a gastro-intestinal oncologist asap for results, diagnosis, prognosis, and a treatment plan, but it appears we have to wait till February 28 before Phil can get in.

It's hard to wait . . .

The fight begins!

Today they found a large "likely malignant" tumor in Phil's colon, close to the liver. Tomorrow they do the liver biopsies.

We return to Huntsman next Tuesday, the 22nd, to meet with Phil's oncologist and get results. The biopsies will take a week to culture.

Thanks for your faith, prayers and support!
