Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 16 | Well, looks like this is the week for the information....Dad too.... Surgery and radiation...They put him in the hospital 2 weeks ago due to danger of airway closure. Had a trach put in, PEG tube, and a port after his first chemo treatment. Today, we were told "he is going to die from this". Can we get SOME good news...
Darrel, Frances, Amy....Everyone
You're in our hearts too....
