Follow up with the surgeon showed that Bob was healing well from the appendectomy, although it left him feeling very weak. The doctor scheduled a pet scan for March 2nd. On the March 4th appointment , the doctor said the mass "lit up like a neon sign" on the pet scan which was indicative of cancer. He ordered a biopsy for the 8th with a follow up with his lung doctor on the 9th.. Bob's son, David drove up from Florida to visit on Saturday March 5th, along with his lady friend Amanda, and one of Bob's grand daughters, Emily (15). Amanda's parents live near Atlanta, GA, so they were spending the evening there before returning home Sunday. Bob's daughter, Debbie, came in from Lafayette, Georgia, and we got to see her Saturday evening and Sunday. Thankfully, the biopsy showed that the mass was not cancer, but the pathologist could not figure out what it was, and the surgeon said it would still have to be removed. Surgery was scheduled for the 22nd of March...the third surgery in 3 months, each on or around the 22nd.
