I don't have time to write anything of length. I just wanted to let you know that I received word today that the MRI did NOT turn up any more cancer. I was concerned that if I have a metastases in the liver, lung surgery would definitely be off the table. I think that Dr Robinson will probably come back and say that his original view (that surgery is not possible) is still the same. We are scheduled to meet with Lary on Monday morning at 8:30 AM at Moffitt. If he thinks surgery may be possible, they will take my case to the "Tumor Board" at Moffitt where all the experts weigh in with their opinion(s). I should have an answer on surgery no later than Wednesday of next week.
This surgery, should it happen, is a big deal and kind of scary to think about. I am reading about it and the more I read the more apprehensive I become. I said to Yoko last night that it would be like jumping out of a plane -- scary to contemplate, but if you close your eyes and step into the air, there is no going back!
Anyway, the fact that there are no mets in the liver is the bit of good news I wanted to share.

Thank God the spot turned out to be nothing. I too am sorry that you are going through all this Tom. I can only imagine what you're feeling. I think of you daily, you, Yoko and your children and continue to pray for you all.
I can't wait to find out about your conversation with your doctor's next week. Hang in there, you sound like you're doing well emotionally, although I'm sure you have some really tough moments too. Give my love to your family.
