Well, just in time for Christmas, we get a not-so-good bone scan back. bleh! It looks like the disease has made some pretty good (BAD!) progression in George's right hip/pelvis, some in his left, and a spot on his upper right femur. We had to go in yesterday to discuss this with the doctor. The GOOD news is that his spine is unaffected.
To take a closer look to see what it is that is really showing up on the scan, he got a bunch of x-rays yesterday, and has a CT scan coming up on Tuesday.
He has a referral to an orthopedic oncologist here in Cincinnati.
Radiation is most likely, there could be some surgery depending on what the additional scans show.
All in all- not the best news, but it could have always been a lot worse, so we'll focus on the positives.
Please keep George in your prayers in the upcoming weeks: that the scans reveal less disease than the bone scan indicated- wisdom for the doctors in how to proceed with treatment- wisdom for us in making decisions- success with every treatment used upon him.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support- and Merry Christmas!!!!!
(p.s. George has now entered his 9th year since diagnosis of surviving the "big C"!! hooray!!)
This is a blog dedicated to keeping friends and loved ones abreast of my husband's progress as he enters his now 10th year of fighting an aggressive prostate cancer. Enjoying LIFE while looking forward to HEAVEN.

Hospice has been called in for around the clock care. It seems Richard may only have days to a week left in this life. Please keep his wife, Kori, and their two sons in your prayers as they traverse this terrible road and face a future without him.
Please consider contributing to their fund in an effort to ease the financial burden for Kori. Thank you.
