We enjoy seeing Dr. C. He is very patient and kind and has a wonderfully familiar manner. He just feels like a friend. He said looking at the rectal scan he was ready to proceed with surgery but for the new liver involvement he would wait to see what Dr. B suggested during our visit on Monday. It was what we expected. He said for us to ask Dr. B to call him while we were there on Monday. We feel Dr. B will not recommend surgery now, so we are now hoping there will at least be options for liver treatment. David commented that he always feels better after talking to Dr. C and for that I will always be grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe I already mentioned that we leave these little frogs where ever we go if we can find a spot. We started doing this sometime last year after David&#8217;s diagnosis. We hope they make people smile. We like to find these little unexpected things too. It also gives us a chuckle when we sometimes see them in the same spots when we return. Did someone see them and leave them there or have they gone undetected? I guess it is our attempt a leave a little &#8220;sunshine&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"850\" src=\"https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4799-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4799-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4799-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4799-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4799-1-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4799-1-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"851\" src=\"https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4800-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4800-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4800-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4800-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4800-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gassett.info\/david\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4800-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 2, 2024 We got up and felt like we were just moving through Jello to head over for the appointment with Dr. C to discuss the surgery we have wanted for so long and now expected to be off the table.
