Today Novel had his seed implant procedure and is home and doing well. Just a glimpse into his day...there were 6 of his Sunday School Class members with him at the hospital, along with Martha and their daughters, Tressa and Jennifer.
He was about 30 minutes later going back for his procedure because there was a gentleman who was there for the same procedure who was having severe nervous problems, almost an anxiety attack, and Novel allowed him to go ahead of him. Isn't that just like our sweet guy?! The man and his wife, along with the doctors and nurses were very appreciative!
Novel's procedure involved implanting 90 seeds. Martha says he came out of the anesthesia talking! Isn't that just like our sweet guy also?! He is home and resting, and enjoyed a scrambled egg sandwich and a cup of coffee. Please continue to pray for his healing.
GOOD NEWS! The Doctors got a second opinion on the biopsy and instead of the Gleason score being 9 as they originally thought, 3 pathologists (experts in their field) have indicated that the Gleason score is a 7. [The Gleason Score shows how fast the cancer is growing--6 being average, 7-8 is fast, 9-10 is very fast.] They are so thankful to their Father in heaven for answered prayer.
"The joy of the Lord is my strength." Neh. 8:10
So glad to hear his Gleason score decreased!!! We love you and are praying for you!
