Dr. Appointment

Matt saw Dr. Holen yesterday.  Matt has been experiencing pain in his pelvic region.  He has a swollen lymph node a little off to the side where he was experiencing pain before.  Dr. Holen said he could get radition on it but Matt is waiting for a clinical trail so he decided no radition.  Matt decided to wait and get stronger pain medication and see how that works so he can do the clinical trail when they call.

Dr. Holen's office realized that Matt's port has not been used for several months.  The nurse  tried to access it and it was not working properly.  Matt stayed and the put a medication down his port.   Matt had to wait for 45 minutes and she tried his port again and it was working well.

Matt is going to have a tumor marker test done in a few weeks. Until then he continues to work hard even in this "extreme" heat!!!  It was 100* yesterday in Watertown!!  Way to hot for Wisconsin!!!

Thank you to everyone for continued prayers for Matt!!
