Heading to the Gastroenterologist

We will be going to Dr. Neal Osborn tomorrow for Troy's consultation for his feeding tube. His surgery will more than likely be on Wednesday. They were going to start Troy's chemo on Wednesday, but due to the conflict with the feeding tube, they are going to start him next week instead. This will be good because it will give him time to recover from his surgery. This is the third surgery (if you haven't been following along) in less than a month. Troy's hanging tough though. We started out the weekend kind of sluggish, but Troy talked to the radiation oncologist, Dr. Laura Allen, Saturday morning and she gave us a little more confidence in Troy's prognosis. She basically said that she believes that Troy was misdiagnosed from the beginning by the pathologist and they are pretty confident that they have a handle on what they are dealing with, and they have sent the slides and his information to the round table at the Mayo clinic just so they can all agree on their findings. Anyway, I don't think we will ever feel "good" about any news until they say that Troy is cured. Every time we receive good news, we still know that the battle is not over. However, we are in the fight, and will continue until we win.
