Sorry about not responding to any of the messages. I have been in New York with my uncle an awful lot. He decided against surgery and proceeded with chemo and radiation therapy which was going very well until three weeks ago when the port a cath became infected. The infection was so bad that he became very critically ill, multiple organ problems, respiratory disease and some other mess. The doctors were not very optimistic about his condition at all. I went to see him in Newyork Saturday and he is getting ready to go to the step down unit. God is good. They gave him a ten percent chance of surviving three weeks ago. Look at him now. As for the cancer, the raditation oncologist and medical oncologist feel as though the treatment is going very well. The tumor is shrinking greatly. When the infection set in he was in his last week of radiation..bummer. Anyway, I truly believe that God can do all things if only we believe in him and have the faith.
