Tomorrow is Chris' last day of work. We met with the doctor today to discuss the PET scan results. The tumor in Chris' neck and back are bigger and there is new cancer growing where his surgery was (whipple) where they put together the stomach and intestine. He also has a large blood clot in his lung which gives him a great deal of pain. There is nothing that they can do for this, he is already on lovenox (blood thinners). The tumor in his neck/back (especially neck) is giving him a great deal of discomfort. Dr. talked about perhaps radiation to help alleviate some of the pain/pressure in his neck and back. We talked about the other chemo but decided that we would like some time to think about it. Chris would have to have the port put back in his chest. He would carry around a pump like he did before. The treatment would last 48 hours. He would be sick, tired and he would loose his hair. (he has already talked our boys into shaving their heads if he does the treatment:) Dr. said that he would not add the medicine that would give him a rash and make him itch (thank goodness!) Dr. also referred us to HOSPICE:( Tomorrow is r first appointment. When speaking with lady on the phone I told her that I needed someone who could deal with five children and would be LDS. We don't want anyone coming in here talking doom and gloom. We have been dealing with this for two years. We know where Chris is going thanks to the Plan of Salvation and that we can be with him again. I am sad about what has happened today, but I have known that this day would someday come. I am most sad about Chris quitting work. He enjoys his job and the people he works with, and I think he will get bored at home (and drive me crazy - hee, hee). So, here we go on a new journey. We appreciate all the prayers. Love, Ricki
