I have to say that I am sorry that my last post did not contain all the information as I missed blogging about the Friday test. The Henry Ford Hospital is moving fast and Tom was actually in Detroit on Friday, June 19 for a Bone scan. He spent the whole weekend in West Bloomfield Hills. He spent Friday with his friend Chris, they were able to catch a Tigers game. On Saturday I drove there to meet him for the rest of his trip. Sunday Tom had an extensive MRI and Monday was his CT scan. We finally made it home around 8:30 Monday night. We are both still recovering from the trip.
Today Tom received a phone call from HFH stating that he is eligible to enter into the program. I am not sure if we should be ecstatic about it considering Tom has to be at certain degree of of the illness in order to qualify. However, you have to be "cancer excluded" otherwise healthy in order to qualify. I do believe that it is a good thing that Tom has been accepted. Tom will start his treatment on Tuesday, July 6. The first 2 months will be the hardest as Tom will be at HFH in both West Bloomfield and Detroit quite a bit. We will know more details after his visit on the 6th.
When Tom goes on the 6th they will go over the results of all the scans. He will be monitored very closely with this program as they do not know how he will react.
We are not sure how this will effect Tom's work schedule. He optimistic that he will be able to continue working through this process. However, doctors are warning him that he may need to slow down for a little while. Knowing Tom, that means he will cut back to only working one job. Luckily we work for a good company that is prepared to help us along the way.
All through this we need to keep on praying, and praying, and praying. The Lord has lead us through so much. I talk with people and can't think of how else we could have made it. I thank all my prayer warriors. Thanking God for you.
"But you, dear friends, must build up your lives ever more strongly upon the foundation of our holy faith, learning to praying the power and strength of the Holy Spirit." Jude 1:20
