Thank you so much for the reply, Jeff. I am so sorry about your situation and I will be praying for you too. I am appreciative for the bluntness. Like my dad says “I don’t want any beating around the bush.” His doctors are wonderful and have taken very good care of him for a long time before this diagnosis so they kind of tell it like it is and that is good at this point for sure. We did find out today that they are going to hopefully try a needle biopsy on the spot on his hip to at least get a tissue diagnosis to maybe do radiation on that spot because it is so bad that it could fracture at any time. The wierd thing about all of this is that it was not there 2 months ago. I understand about not being able to do chemo and surgery, but he doesn’t want to just lay there because he doesn’t want to be a burden on any of us. We just reassure him that we want to be here to help him any way we can. He is just a very proud man and it is hard for him. He is not the kind to show emotion but he is changing before my eyes. They asked today if his heart stopped, what did he want them to do? He has a living will so that took care of that but boy was that scary to think about. Well, take care of yourself and I will be praying for you. Thank you!!!!
