Sundance Getting His Gift CT Scan Done Today

G'day Everybody!

With all of this stuff going on in our world this week, I was hesitant to post an update, but I thought about my Angel - and I figured I owed it to her and to all of you who are out there following my story.

So, today is CT today - through Angel's generous gift, I will be leaving for the hospital in less than an hour to get this done. I'm not sure what to expect for results - that's the beauty of this gift, now I will get to, where before I was guessing.

My CEAs have risen slightly, just enough to get your attention, but still within normal range - but what's normal about me, right? So, this CT scan is very timely indeed. We know there is already a tumor in my lung, the pleura. The question will be: How big has it grown? I guess we'll know next week.

So, I'm chilling down my "barium cocktail", oh, who I am kidding, my barium enema...and as I drink it and drive to the hospital, I will have my Angel, Patti, and all of you on my mind.

So, bottoms up :)

-Craig

    glad
    Hi Craig,

    I'm so glad your "Angel" helped out and you're able to get the CT scan done. I'm praying for the outcome to be good. I haven't communicated much lately, but I'm definitely still thinking of you and have you in prayers.

    Take care and I know you'll let us know when you have your results.

    Hugs,
    Lisa

    Great news
    Craig,

    My husband and I have both followed your journey and the story of your angel. We couldn't be more thrilled that you are getting this CT scan. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers for very good news when you get the results. Wouldn't we all love to be a financial angel to someone else?
    I know you, too, are an angel to many, many others with your kindness, knowledge, and support.

    Our very best wishes,

    Priscilla and David
