We met with Dr. Tezcan this afternoon at 5:30 and he showed us the cat scan I had yesterday and was able to compare it with the one I had a month ago. The great news is that my shortness of breath and cough is not a result of the blood clot growing. It's smaller than it was a month ago. And the tumors are the same or smaller. So he doesn't think the symptoms are a result of cancer either. The doctor pointed out an area in the lower part of my left lung that looks much different than it did a month ago. It is cloudy and gunky looking. He said it looks like pnemonia and he prescribed some medication and told me to try to breathe deeply so I can try to get it to break up. We are so relieved that what's causing my cough etc. is treatable! So I'm saying it's "pretty good news" because it's wonderful that it isn't the cancer or blood clots...but it seems so strange to be thankful that it's just pnemonia. I'm looking forward to getting well!
Thank you so much for your prayers. I appreciate your faithfulness and love.
Love, Julie

I'm sorry that you have to deal with pneumonia. But glad that it isn't those stupid tumors and clots. Get plenty of rest and drink, drink, drink. Hydrate that is. The end of the year is so hectic. Everyone is going to be gone tomorrow. Oh, you can look for Adrian on the Oregonlive site. Our band is going to state. They are excited. But with the Band gone, and the Baseball and Softball teams going to district in Wallowa tomorrow, I will have a total of 12 kids to teach for the rest of the day. And that is split between 5 periods! I guess baby sitting isn't so bad, but I would rather do other things.
Have a good week and post when you are feeling better.
Love Jerry
