Marilyn called. The CT scan today showed a fist sized mass in Roger's small intestine. He's scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow to do a biopsy on it and then surgery on Wednesday to remove it. They are planning to remove at least 3 inches of intestine.
Everyone is hoping for another flare up of diverticulitis.
On the bright side, they have been able to reduce the pain he's been in.
Thanks for the prayers and prayers for those that need it.![]()

Prayers that all goes better than expected with the surgery, and he'll be left with more of his insides intact than they think!

Crystal, your friends - there are hardly words for the devastation and heartbreak they must be feeling. I hope your friend is at least healthy physically. Prayers going to them.![]()

Roger has Lymphoma cancer. They won't know which type till the biopsy results come back.
He'll be in the hospital for another 5-7 days. We plan to go visit him on Saturday.![]()

Prayers that Roger's lymphoma is very treatable and that he has a quick and good recovery.
