Hi Everyone,

Back from Maui.
It went about as well as expected. His mom took it pretty hard, but his dad was strong. Of course there were no hard feelings about the delay in telling them about the cancer. Because of their ages (both near 90) I didn't give them all the details about what he will go through in the next couple of months completing his therapy. We did show them and explain about the PEG and the reason for it. But it seemed uneccessary to tell them he will be in a lot of pain and may not be able to eat normally for a while. Who knows...maybe he will be able to get through all this without using the PEG. I know there are some of you who have and that is encouraging.
The hard part about the weekend was going to church with them. I had to get up and leave twice because I started to cry. I had a hard time pulling it back together, so after the second trip outside, I decided to just stay outside. It's been a while since I've cried at all and I guess the pressure from telling his parents and seeing his mom so upset just brought it all back. I feel better now that we are home.
Thanks for all your replies.
Vicki
