Steve's surgeon stopped by this evening to visit with Steve and do a post surgery follow up. When he came in he was also able to give us the results of the pathology that was done on Steve's rectum and the surrounding fat and lymph nodes that were removed.
Steve's tumor went down from a T3 to a T1 tumor and there were zero lymph nodes with cancer out of 18 that were removed. This is the best results that we could have hoped for. We are thrilled!
Steve will still have some follow up chemo just to make sure nothing is hanging around out there that they aren't aware of, but the chemo and radiation he had prior to surgery did everything they wanted it to do and did it extremely well.
Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone for all your fasting, faith, and prayers in behalf of Steve and our family. All of yours and our prayers have been answered. Don't forget to thank Heaven, too.
I'm so happy things are going so well! We'll keep the prayers coming.
