NEWS FROM ROOM 631

I just got off the phone with Becky and she said the Doctor came in today and told Daddy that the cancer had gone through to the abdomen and they considered it to be metastasized. He did not say that it is in the lemphnoids but did say it is in the blood stream and that he didn't know if they were going to do chemo because the type of cancer that he has is so rare the chemo is experimental. They have scheduled him an appointment next week with the oncologist in Montgomery and told him they would be very interested to see what he had to say. Daddy is being discharged today and basically the doctor told him to live each day to the fullest and enjoy life because we don't know what tomorrow will bring. This are words we do not want to hear. All I can say is maybe the oncologist will have a more optimistic view on things.
