Lung biopsy results update

We heard from the pulmonary doctor today.  Yes, we are VERY thankful these doctor go above and beyond the call of duty and work on Saturday and take the time to call their patients.  The PRELIMINARY biopsy results came back as a "similar cancer cell that Jon had last time."  The doctor said that we will have to talk about the details with Jon's urologist.  We are actually relieved to know that it is the same kind of cancer Jon had last time because the cure rate is high and we already have the chemo regimen set in place.  Jon will have an outpatient surgery Monday, and we will go from there.  The oncologist will have to get the FINAL path results before he will schedule anything on his end.  It could be Wednesday or Thursday before we know about the date chemo will start.  We will keep you updated as we know.  Thanks for praying for Jon on Monday.  Pray that we will be able to control the nausea better this time that results from the anesthesia.
