CT scan today.
Posted 11 minutes ago
We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the time we had to spend with family and friends.
This afternoon we are having a CT scan done of Brian's neck and face to check the growth of his tumors. He says it feels like the tumors are getting larger in his throat making it difficult for him to bend his head back far enough to comfortably change the trach.
We think it is mostly stiff neck muscles from laying in bed most of the day but he is due to have a scan anyway to check the encroachment of the tumors on his eye sockets.
The tumors on the bridge of his nose continue to increase in size but...last night he wrote me a note saying he thought the tumors on the left side of his face were shrinking...then he smiled and pointed heavenward. It does appear that they are smaller but I'm afraid it's due to faster growth of the tumors on the right side. We'll know more after we get the results of the CT.
Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers and please keep praying for Sarah too!
God bless,
Doug, Carol and Brian
