Update on Big B

March 4, 2009

Greetings family and friends:

Many of you may not know, but recent medical tests have concerned Bryan’s doctors. Results from CT scans, lead to an appointment Wednesday afternoon with Dr. Nagasawa, a Medical Oncologist.

After meeting with Dr. Nagasawa on Wednesday, Bryan more than likely has Lymphoma. This preliminary diagnosis is based on blood work , CT scans, and experience of the doctors. Dr. Nagasawa is upbeat and optimistic about treatment. Here are the details:

Tests over the next two weeks will determine the type of Lymphoma, the possible grade of the Lymphoma, the stage of the Lymphoma, and the treatment options.

After a diagnosis has been made, Bryan, at the advice of Dr. Nagasawa, will seek a second opinion from the City of Hope. At that time, a treatment procedure will be determined.

Bryan has been feeling fine, which encourages his doctor for a positive outcome.

The earliest possible test results will be after March 16th. While we appreciate your thoughts and prayers, we kindly request that you limit contact to E-mail. We’ll post updates as soon as we get them at http://wislockifamily.blogspot.com
