Tests are inconclusive so far

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

I just spoke with Zola again. We still don’t have a lot of concrete information yet.

As of right now, no tests have shown conclusively that it’s cancer. They took a look into his esophagus and were surprised to not see some blockage or cells that looked definitely like cancer. So the tests are still inconclusive. In a few days, they will do a more thorough test and then we should know for sure. And then we’ll know what the treatment options and prognosis are.

But I don’t want to make things sound too good, either. All the doctors still believe that it IS cancer. But right now, anyway, we can have the luxury of being in denial. It’s still not confirmed reality yet.

I don’t want to discount the power of prayer, either, naturally. Right now, we can still pray that it isn’t cancer. We can always pray that even if it is, that it’s treatable. We can always pray that God grant Zola more time.

Zola and Sandra should be back in Dallas on Wednesday and are trying for an appointment with the Oncologist on Thursday.
