Because of a suspicious swelling on an xray taken of Jim's ribs, the oncologist is ordering a bone biopsy. The radiologist read it as a concern for metastasis.

Praying this is just an infection from one of the many spontaneous fractures Jim has due to the advanced osteoporosis.

I've told Jim: it's not cancer until they say it is cancer and I'm sticking to that.

    You both are in my prayers !
    I'll be praying for a clear biopsy for Jim, and that everything is just as you say. It's NOT the C-word until they say it is. Warmest thoughts sent to both of you ! Katie

    I will say a prayer that the swelling is nothing more than an infection that is easily treatable. Jim is blessed to have your positive attitude and support. God Bless!

    HOPING FOR THE BEST
    I'm hoping for a NEDS report from the biopsy. I agree, it's not cancer, until they say it is beyond a shadow of a doubt.
