Thanks again for all of the support and well wishes…I KNOW it makes a difference. My Dad has a mild case of diverticulitis, but his attitude and demeanor has improved drastically. And why not….he has a new lease on life
They dropped him down to PET scans every 3 months, but we can handle that.
Life is good!We have had some incredible news! My Dad went in for an endoscopy and colonoscopy (at the same time, poor guy!) What they found were BENIGN cysts! They had a little trouble getting around with all of the surgery, but said everything looks great! Such beautiful words…..still cancer free.
Thank you again for all of the wishes, prayers, and support. I know they are helping my Dad.Godspeed, Kris. I know you are dancing among the stars. Hans, my heart goes out to you. Thank you so much for sharing. The love never dies, you take it with you.

Thank you for the encouragement. Will post as soon as we know anything at all. His Drs already met at their “tumor” board to discuss this, so I imagine things will go fast..
Hi Margaret,
So happy to hear that Tom is feeling better! Hopefully those infections will become a thing of the past.
Hang on to that fighting spirit, and keep on kickin!Janet
Great news! I had to smile at the “only gemzar” comment. I remember when my Dad’s oncologist called one of the drugs “chemo light”.
Hope the good news keeps on coming!

Dear Lainy
SO many of us will be with you in spirit tomorrow, including Teddy. I pray you will find comfort and peace, and be filled with the warmth of all of the love flowing to you. I’m betting you’ll see quite a few light issues tomorrow!Hugs,
JanetRoxy, my Dad is 79 too. Just find someone who knows how to deal with this nasty disease. For us, we also wanted someone as aggressive as we felt! Use the resources and experiences of people here….they are a Godsend!
Best wishes to you and your family
Janet
Roxy,
Surgery was the answer for us. Had to find the “right” surgeon, and Dr. Hemming at UCSD fit the bill. We tried chemo, but my Dad is in that percentage of people who simply cannot tolerate it.
Best of luck to you, and please ask any questions you want!
Janet
