After many hugs and tears yesterday we made the decision to not to put Dad through the radiation treatments.

We will be getting him into the hospice program where he will be kept comfortable until the end.

The cancer is still spreading in the neck and now one of the tumors is starting to extend upwards behind his ear.

To do radiation on him, we feel, would just put him through more pain, even though the radiation should help the pain - but then again, the drugs that hospice gives him should take care of that. We just thought that the end result is all the same, it just the means you take to get there.

His name is Jim, please keep him in your prayers.

Hugs,

Joy
