Update - I had a follow up visit today with my doctor. My hip is doing fine.

He is going to do my knee replacement also. He took fluid sample from the knee and also drew blood. It may be the beginning of the year before surgery is scheduled. They may Ty have to put a new spacer in before a knee replacement. Please pray that won’t be the case.

Also pray I will use this down time wisely.

Physical is going well. My hip is healing nicely. I still don't have a date for my next knee surgery.

Pray I will use this time to be closer to the Lord.

Continued Updates On Teri O’Neil

10/13/22 UPDATE:

So the biopsy is done. Now we wait for the results to see how we proceed with my cancer treatments or if we are done. I hop to know something by Wednesday the 19th. The procedure went well and other than the lung toxicity my lungs look good. The toxicity should clear itself with time. I’ve been off Chemo 2.5 weeks now and thought I would feel much better by now. I continue to have weakness in my legs and fatigue. Mornings are better as I seem to have more energy so I can get some things done.

Greg says my smile and humor is coming back. It’s still just one day at a time for me but I hope to get out and start walking some now that the weather is getting cooler.

------------------------------------------

9/30/22 UPDATE:

I had my appointment with my oncologists doctor today. we are going to stop chemo treatment until he consults with his colleagues about my medical condition. It sounds like we may be done with chemo and focus on healing my lungs. And he recommends proceeding with the llung biopsy to determine exactly what has happened to my lungs. We should have an answer by Wednesday next week as what to do With me. The earliest appointment is October 12 for the biopsy which will be done under sedation.

-------------------------------------------

9/29/22 UPDATE:

Okay. so I saw the pulmonologist and he suspects drug induced lung toxicity. He reached out to my oncologist who has cancelled my chemo for tomorrow.

I will have a telehealth appointment with my oncologist tomorrow to discuss further treatment. Pulmonologist wants a lung biopsy which is not available until October 12 I believe he said. He noticed a significant difference in my CT scans from start of chemo to now which is driving his concern. So more to follow and more prayers please.

9/24/22 UPDATE: Just an update:

Infusion #6 went well. They have permanently reduced my chemo by 20% which is allowing by blood numbers to recover enough each week to keep going. Only 6 more to go. The cough continues so I see the pulmonologist on Thursday at 2:30 pm to see what they can do. I get into coughing fits that take my breath away and make me weak the rest of the day. My non cancer Primary Dr gave me some meds that help a little to get me by until then.

I woke up feeling good so I think it’s going to be a really good day. Saturdays usually are because I’m still amped up on the steroid.

————————————————————————-

Aunt Juanita has been suffering from a recent cancer diagnosis. She has taken a turn for the worst and her family has to make the decision to put her on hospice- either at the hospice unit at the hospital where she can receive adequate pain relief, or bring her home with hospice only coming in 3 days a week without any pain relief.

Juanita was wanting to fight this, but no longer wants any more surgeries or chemo treatments.

Please pray for her and her Husband Mario as well as their three sons during this difficult time. Pray for peace and the Lord’s understanding during this time.

Cal Salsgiver: Pray for Margaret Gay

9/2/22 UPDATE:

Margaret said they will not perform her spine surgery without a colonoscopy first. She is afraid because there is a history in her family. She wants to schedule her test at Tarboro, so she will let us know when it is scheduled. Please pray for her peace as well as outcomes.

——————————————————————-

Margaret has been very limited in mobility and in pain for several years with hip and back problems, to name a few. She has decided to go ahead with back surgery on Sept. 6th at Vidant Tarboro Hospital.

Please pray for successful surgery, recovery, and desired relief from pain.
