Journal entry by Patrick Park —
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share with you that my recent CT scans showed favorable results, which is a positive development. However, the medical recommendation is to proceed with surgery, which is scheduled for May 16th.
Although there is no tumor present, there is still some scar tissue in the main tumor location. As a result, the plan is to move forward with the resection of the primary tumor area and some lymph nodes.
I kindly ask for your prayers during this time. Please join me in praying for the following:
1. A small miracle where the scar tissue in my rectum will disappear, avoiding the need for rectal surgery.
2. Wisdom for my medical team as they navigate the upcoming procedure.
3. A smooth surgery with no complications and a swift recovery process.
Your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to me, and I appreciate all the support and encouragement you have shown throughout this journey.
Thank you, and I will keep you updated on any further developments.
Warm regards,
Patrick
