Mary Ellen/Aunt Patty Medical Updates

Mary Ellen update--
We are waiting for approval from the insurance company for some tests to be done, one being the test that will tell the doctors what the percentage is for me to have another cancer. That will determine if chemo is needed. It is a new test and has not been approved by all insurance companies yet. We are not sure if our's will approve. So far, with the tests that have been run, the doctors feel this is the very beginning of Stage 1 breast cancer.

Other than that I am doing good. Doctor said yesterday that he wants to wait about 2 months for the second stage of the surgery.

Aunt Patty update--
My mom is doing good. The tests came back pre cancerous-thankfully they caught it in time. The surgeon released her on Tuesday, but of course she is still under the care of the heart and lung doctors. I think she has made a remarkable recovery. She is so excited about getting up to east texas to look for a trailer. I haven't seen her like this in a long time.

Very Important to have those colonoscopies and mammograms!!!!!!

And one more thing. Our daughter in law, Crystal Dussouy (Guy Jr's wife) will graduate next Saturday (5/17/08) from Southeastern Louisiana University with her Master's Degree in Special Education. She has worked very hard and will be graduating with honors.
