As you know, Deb has been complaining of nausea, fever, minor weight loss and just generally feeling tired all of the time.
The first results today from Deb's testing was good and bad news. I will try and explain briefly in high level so you know what we know so far.
We definitely have uncovered the root cause of the symptons that she has been experiencing in last couple months.
Unfortunately, the initial results from CT scan last Friday is showing sporadic, unknown type of lesion masses mainly on her right liver lobe and also small lesions on pancreas and one of her kidneys. Fortunately, the blood test results were for the most part positive indicating everything is functioning what appears to be normal.
Next Steps
The second test results are scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9am with the Gastro Intestinal Specialists to drill deeper into the CT scan findings and discuss next steps.
Most likely, the next step will be for Deb to immediately schedule biopsy to remove some of the lesion tissues for further lab testing.
I will keep you all posted as I know more from tests tomorrow and days to come. I will be in and out of work so here is my contact information below if you need to get hold of me.
Deb is of course upset but resting well at the house today and I have the boys taking good care of her while I am at work.

Deb,
We were saddened to hear what has been brought to your door this summer. Though after reading Rod's updates, we realized how fortunate you are to be surrounded by such a strong group of people. All of our positive thoughts and energies are going your way. We think of you often, especially when eatting fried green tomatoes - which you got us hooked on many years ago!
Love, Shawn, Craig, Sydney, Eli, Veda Tappin
Deb,
I am very happy to see you are fighting this with all your might. I can't wait to hear what happens in DC. I want to come visit with you any time you are ready. I will come with more goodies if you are ready for that also. I will email you this week and see if you want visitors or have a need for anything.
You are in my thoughts and prayers and you are on the prayer list at my church,
Lois
Deb,
Wanted you to know I am praying for you each day. I know Cameron wrote you a letter recently. She told me all about it and was remembering the book you read together. You made such a difference in her developing a love for reading--thanks! Keep fighting! Dee Mobley
