Mark and Dianna met with the gastrointestinal surgeon today. The surgeon did see benign bubbles on the wall under Mark's diaphram. There are several different reasons for why the bubbles are there but the surgeon is positive that it's NOT because of a perforation. He got the opinion of two other doctors as well and they all concurred. The doctors said there is no reason to wait any longer to begin the high-dose chemo and stem cell transplant.
They will call Dr. Zangari's office tomorrow to see how soon before they can begin. Mark is more than anxious to get started and was hoping he could be finished before Easter weekend. Unfortunately due to the 2-3 week delay, that's not going to happen. Better safe than sorry though!
Mark and Dianna would like to thank everyone for being so supportive. It means more to them than you can imagine.

Hurray!!!! It's about time we had some GOOD NEWS for a change! Keep taking it one day at a time. Spring is around the corner. The days are getting longer and the birds are singing. We can all start a new chapter soon. Thanks for keeping this blog so up to date. It is a wonderful way to communicate. I'm praying for all of you. Lots of Love, Nancy
