PET Scan Results! More FABULOUS News!

On Wednesday, we saw the oncologist for the results of Greg's PET scan.   We were not expecting anything different than the EGD and biopsy results, so it seemed like just a formality.  We were not disappointed!   Greg's PET scan showed absolutely no signs of any cancer!    We are SO happy!  This is such an aggressive cancer, and with Greg not being a candidate for surgery, we really had no idea what to expect.   We have been so blessed with how Greg has responded to his treatment.   It's really been incredible.  The doctors could not believe that he actually drove himself the 30 miles (one way) for every one of his radiation treatments, and that he was able to do the same for each of his four chemo treatments.  At his age, and with the amount of chemo and radiation his body has endured over the last 25 years, it's simply unheard of!     

As the results were everything we were hoping for, we were able to have Greg's PICC line removed!  Fortunately, that's not a surgical procedure, so we were able to have it done in one of the "clean" chemotherapy rooms.  Of course, I need to share some pictures!  Don't worry, they're not very graphic!  

And here's some video!  It was like pulling out a tapeworm!  LOL    

The best news of all is that he is getting his PEG tube (stomach tube) removed on Tuesday!  That means we don't have to worry about it accidentally "popping open" when he's in his tux at our son's wedding!  YAY!  And it's an office procedure, so that makes it even easier!   For once, all the paperwork was completed and approved by the insurance company without a fight, so we're good to go!  

All the praise for this belongs to the Ultimate Physician!  God is the only one that could have given us such an incredible outcome for such a horrific disease!  All the praise and glory is His!   Once again, our Father has healed Greg!  He must have some amazing things planned for him on this earth to continually heal him!   

Thank you to everyone for your prayers.  It is obvious to us that they were heard!
