DELIGHT IS ENCOURAGED WITH REPORTS

Delights visit with the lung doctor required her to have her lung drained again. He drained 1 1/2 liter of fluid off this time. This is the third time that she has had the lung drained since Feb 4. They talked about possibly doing the surgery soon so she will not be having to have the lung drained so often. The fluid is in the lining that is next to the lung. The surgery would be attaching the hole in the lining to the chest wall. She has not made up her mind if she is going to do the surgery. The doctor wants her to try and walk down her road some to see if this would help keep the fluid from building up.

The doctor refilled her chemo pills for 5 more times. Since the pills are working he wants her to continue taking them. She will go back April 22 for more scans. One of the scans that she will be taking that day will be the scan on the head. She will visiting with the doctor that did the scan on the head that afternoon. She has an appointment with her regular oncologist, Dr. Mirtsching on April 30 to discuss the rest of the scans.

Delight looks really pretty today. She said if she only felt as good as I say she looks. She said that she really doesn't hurt she just feels tired & draggy. Continue to pray for Delight....they are being answered.
