I hope your husband is doing better, A great attitude and some prayer has really helped me. So I am stage 4 esophagus and before I started treatment I was losing 1/2 pound per day eventually going to mostly living off bottles of ensure. My doctor teated me with Folfox and Keytruda plus tons of prayers and love from family and friends, after 12 rounds of chemo and I think about 5 rounds of Keytruda at 62 I can still outwork people younger than me and I can eat again though Im on a bland diet because my tonged is kinda messed up, even the slightest seasoning hurts and alcohol of any kind burns like heck but Im still on this side of the grass. And simular to someone else story back around Easter I was told at least I have some time to get affairs in order (not my oncologist but a radiologist). Life is good please convince him not to waste a day worry about what he might loose but to thank the heavens above for all the awesome that is still there for him. Take care, Jim W.

Hope you are doing good. He is doing a bit better after talking to customers from the shop he works at that have had cancer. He ironically had an appointment just after getting out of the hospital from the car accident with the sleep doctor (ENT) and she ordered a PET scan because Mayo still had not called us since his Primary had referred him. The PET reveled cancer in the liver and 2 spots on the lungs as well. We do have an appointment on Friday 12/12 with Baptist MD Anderson in Jacksonville. MD Anderson in TX is the Nations Cancer leader, so this might be a good move that Mayo never called us back. The Doctor we have an appointment with used to work at the TX location so that might be a good as well. Trying to look at the bright side to everything now.
