Don't You See Me Prayin?

The rock cried out, I can't hide you..

I said, Rock, what's a matter with you rock?

Don't you see I need you, rock?

Lord, Lord, Lord

Casey had scans today in preparation for her bladder surgery on the 1st.

They found multiple nodules in both lungs.

 

The tentative plan at this point is to go ahead with her bladder surgery on the 1st. While she's recovering, she'll take chemo medicine in pill form at home; not strong enough to kill the nodules, but enough to keep them from spreading. Once she's recovered from that, they'll do two thoracotomies- one for each lung. Her last lung surgery was a thoracoscopy (endoscope procedure). This time they'll just open her up and stick their hands in to feel her lungs.

 

We woke up nervous today. I think we knew this was going to happen. Casey was trying not to recognize it so she could keep fighting. I didn't have to do that, though. I was just hoping it wouldn't happen this soon.
