Last week we received a call from the surgeon who was asking about Taz and also wanted to let us know the results of the biopsy on the tumor/tissue removed from Taz's intestines a week ago. The lymphoma cells were there and that tumor had shrunken quite a bit, but as for the scar tissue which was causing the most blockage, it was inconclusive as to what it was. It was puzzling. The cells seemed like they could be another form of cancer, carcinoma. Dr. wanted permission (if we would pay) to do a further test on the tissue to confirm whether or not it was another type of cancer, which would be unusual. But, then, Taz has been doing everything in just the opposite way his doctors have predicted things to go.
Today we got back the results and there is not another form of cancer to deal with! Hallelujeh!!
Taz is doing fine. To keep him from getting too bored, we have 3 rooms in which he occupies. One is my computer room where he has his bed, food and water. Then we have the room next door which has his bed, food, water and the day bed for me. He now also has the family room which has a corner bed so he can watch the birds outside, his food, water and of course the couch for me to sleep on. He's not allowed to go outside and today when he was downstairs in the family room, he got a little too anxious because he wanted out. We brought him back up to the computer room for the afternoon. He did fine and calmed down. Now he's in the room next door where we will sleep tonight. Yes, he is playing this to the hilt.
