Lupron shot postponed

Rick's results of a CAT scan he had last Friday were reviewed and the doctor said that test came back as also not showing any cancer tumors.
Praise God! The oncologist thinks Rick needs to refer back to his primary doctor and perhaps get a referral to a neurologist. Hopefully we can get an appointment with someone soon.
Rick got a call from the doctor's office yesterday that he will have to wait till January 20 for his next injection of Lupron (this product is a hormone that blocks nourishment from cancer cells and suppresses them from multiplying) because his previous one was given as a 4 month dose injection and not 3 month. So when they checked it out with Priority, they informed them of that.
I guess on the positive side, that means that except for the back pain, which is getting worst by the way, Rick won't have the shot's side affects for the holidays, only the back pain. Let's pray that God will lead us to someone that can identify the source of this pain and be able to provide treatment to give him relief in that area. We are praying for the Great Physican to remove this pain and heal him.
