Steve was supposed to have a 4cm x 3cm x 2cm abcess drained by interventional radiology this morning. However, after they got him sedated they did a CT scan and said the abcess was substantially smaller than it was on imaging 2 weeks ago, and they felt like it was too small to drain. While we're grateful Steve didn't have to have this risky procedure, we're perplexed. Steve's pain isn't dramatically decreased, and we were both looking forward to him being able to move forward without all the pain when he moves around and breathes. We're not sure what to think, but they're having him wait 3-4 weeks for another CT scan. I guess we'll wait and see.
Steve's got a colonoscopy scheduled for next Wednesday.

Hope the procedure went well. I have one scheduled Nov. 8th. We have a history on the Sutherland side of issues with the colon. Steve's great uncle Russ (my grandpa) had colon cancer and a colostomy bag when he was in his 60's. My grandmother also had stomach/intestinal cancer so I'm going to keep up my screenings on a regular basis.
My heart is full hearing about the remission, that's so great. Love you all of you.
