A little over a year ago, May 20th, 2010 we were waiting to hear the results of a deep tissue biopsy. That's the day we learned that our son had cancer. I still clearly remember that call. Bobby was so matter-of-fact about the diagnosis. I don't know what he was feeling inside but on the outside it was just the facts. I listened to him relay to me what someone had just relayed to him. When he said it was Nasopharyengeal Cancer I just asked him to spell it. I was in my car heading home from work. He explained what he knew about this type of cancer and what the next few days looked like for him. I was anxious to get home to tell David and look up more information on the web.
Fast forward to May, 2011. Bobby had his first MRI since the end of treatment on December 28th, 2010. The first call regrding results were a bit concerning. The tech apparently saw something on one of his tonsils. But by the next morning when the Tumor Board met, they determined that there were no tumors. Yea!!! He will have a PET scan in a couple months to see what's happening on the cellular level. We're praying for a clean report at that time as well.
God has been faifhful. We often talk about how blessed we are. God worked out so many details for us. He has provided friends, funds, housing, courage, health, time. It has been an amazing year.
Bobby feels good. He is busy planning his future. His current project is developing PEG Tube Food. He and a chef friend of his are very close to production. They have great support from Bobby's medical team and particulary the nutritionist at the California Cancer Care Center. The product will be organic and nutritionally sound, of course. He will also start working part-time in a couple weeks. That's a really good sign that he is feeling much better.
Thanks again to all of you for praying, checking in, helping out, and caring for us.
"I thank my God upon every rememberance of you."
