Subject: Update on Peter

Thank you all for your support and prayers.  The CT scan went off
without a hitch and to God's glory, Peter's lymph system looks clear! 
There are a couple of funny looking spots on his liver the doctor is
pretty convinced are hemangiomas...benign blood vessel clusters.  He's
scheduled for an MRI in 2 weeks to take a closer look, but things are
definitely more upbeat. Also, the doctor checked out a CT scan Peter had
less than 2 years ago which showed no evidence of the cancer in his
bladder which indicates this is a relatively new problem.   Surgery is
still the most likely outcome with a probable 2nd opinion with another
urologist taking place as soon as we get all of the lab results and
tests out of the way. We still don't know about chemo as pre-surgery
chemo is still a viable treatment.  To be honest, we won't know for sure
about the lymph system until the pathology report comes back post
surgery, but this is still excellent news. Please keep us in your
prayers for continued good reports, good health, patience (both of us
want to "get on with it!"), and courage as we steer a course through the
unknown.  

Many hugs to you all,

Peter and Rachelle
