Just a quick update...we met with the oncology team yesterday, they advise surgery is the best option in this case.  After surgery will be more chemotherapy, a different kind this time(still taken orally)...as the tumour has discovered how to reproduce itself despite the chemo taken last time.  There will be no radiation...as this can only be offered once to an area already treated in this nature.  We will meet with the surgeon on Friday to discuss when the next surgery will take place...as it will be very soon. 

Ric has a very good appetite these days...thankfully due to the meds he is taking for the swelling.  He has lost a considerable amount of weight, so we are trying to put some weight back on him.  His energy levels are still low...we hope this will pick up over the next couple of days.

I hear my grandmother's voice "eat, eat you so skinny" couldn't say it any better. If I could transfer some of my weight to you I would I'm sure you will have lots of similar offers. Sending you good vibes, healthy prayers and lots of love. Be well.

Hi Ric and Tracy,
I haven't been able to post any comments until now, because being the computer doorknob that I am... duh. So now I have a friend to teach me stuff. I have been following these blogs, and I just want to let you know that you both are in my thoughts and heart. Keep up the fight, both of you, and Ric, I still am drinking my morning cup of coffee from the LA Raiders mug. Thank you my friend...Linda Denne
