Good morning.

They are giving him the radiation and chemo as palliative measures. I appreciate all the sound advice on getting him to a CCC center, etc. However, as said previously, I AM NOT his primary person, that is his wife, and she cancels every appointment I make.

That said, our concerns have run the gamut - last week it was his platelets (now up), then it was his white count (still waaay too high), but the last two or three days it has been his breathing. It is very labored, and the doctors have said the cancer in his lungs is just too profuse. They told him Saturday that he was terminal and would not survive. He seems to have accepted it (I think he knew anyway), but still vows to fight on.

I was worried I had become to close to the situation and had lost my perspective on how bad he was, and I had. When my other brothers and sister arrived they were all shell shocked.

Having been at the bedsides of my mother and uncle when they passed, I have come to understand that he is very near to where they were in the days just before. I anticipate that God will take him before mid-June.

Thanks again everyone for all of your support.
