    Thanks so much for asking Brummie!. It means a lot to me!

    I gottiredof waitingfo the Dr to call so I called him and yelled! My daughter had a scan done and she found out from her Dr the same day!.(Thank goodness she is OK.)

    .Well that made me mad. I think his Dr thought we could wait until Tusday next when he has an appontment Wrong!. Anyway...His lung tumor is shrinking BUT..he went on to say ..the liver tumors have multiplied and are blocking the ducts now!. He doesn't want to use any more chemo. He has NO options left. If they used Chemo..it could kill him now!. As it is I think it is growing faster than they originally thought. . At first he had 9 months to a year. Now the Dr. acts like it could be soon. We still have an appointment on Tuesday . I guess to see how to handle things...We are both heartbroken.We just retired and thought we would have at least 20 years to play!..He has started a notebook of love letters to me. I have been telling him all the things that he did for me that I appreciate and remember!

    We had a date when we were teenagers..it snowed really hard all of a sudden and his car got stuck. We had to walk to my house which was about 4 long blocks away. Well I had flats on and he carried me all the way home! Then he walked to his house which was about 20 minutes away!

    One time I had an abcessed tooth and it was on the weekend.t hurt so bad! He rocked me all night to take my mind off it. Then we found a dentist on Sunday that would give me some meds.

    When we were younger..we had 3 small children close together. He was the sole breadwinner. He cut his foot and put a big gash in it. I rmember him wrapping it real tight and going to work anyway. He drove a truck and had to be using his foot all day! It was things like that that makes him special!

    A lot of time has passed since then and even though he is a JW..I don't regret anything .

    I love him more than life.

    Snoozy...........

    I love him more than life.

    He obviously loves you more than life too G, after reading that what a credit he is. Pat him on the back for us.

    Feel gutted for you right now knowing the stress and worry that you must be going through, I do hope that you will both get the support you need to get through this, its the mental stress as well as a physical illness.

    I have a freind that has suffered many years with cancer, its amazing how strong the human body and mind is and how we sometimes fight back against the odds. I do hope someone comes up with another option that hasnt been realised yet.
    Thanks for letting us have the update

    Your really are in our thoughts and prayers

    Thank you all so much!

    Well we just got a letter from his Dr that the JW's recommended. He is closing his office and not affiliated with the hospital anymore! He is moving into the city and changing hospitals. Does this sound strange to you?Think he got in some trouble or do they do that sometimes?

    The results are that he will be too far away for us to see him. It also means that we can go back to seeing the original Dr that I liked so much better!

    Even tho he probably won't get any more chemo..he will still be under a Drs. care for infection etc.So we see his old Dr Tuesday and then the next week I guess we will see the other Dr.

    We shall see! Still hoping for a miracle!

    Snoozy....
