Anytime I feel depressed about my life all I have to do is turn on the news or read a blog. I am so hopeful that this family will pull through this terrible situation. Despite the "bad news" I am sure they are going to do all they can to beat the odds. Remember Isaac's Rock (I had it for a brief period in June)? This is an excerpt from his blog about his situation with cancer:
8/1/07 "... ... well ... i am in bad shape. after a brief conversation on monday with my oncologist, i was able to sit down with him this morning and get the details. the spot in my lung from march has grown quickly, there are several other spots in the same lobe of the same lung, there are 2 spots on my liver and possibly a spot on my spine. The spine mass may be an injury that i incurred as part of the awkward stance i adopted to promote faster skin healing during my radiation treatments. the dr. was very specific today that the only option left is chemotherapy. surgeries are no longer an option when the disease is this advanced, and my lungs would not be able to withstand the radiation necessary to eliminate the tumor. The dr. stated to me and my wife today that this is going to kill me, that i am going to die from this. there may be some experimental options that may prolong my survival, but there are no treatments that will save me."
He is still fighting for his life. My thoughts and hopes are with him!!
