I’m doing a group checkin. How is everyone?

@staceyrebecca, I can imagine you and your family are at their wit’s end. It is so hard to see someone losing weight. How did the meeting with the GI go? Any ideas?

@dsh33782 Don, have you started chemo and radiation now? Will you be away from home for the holidays?

@ddunavin, how did your appointment with the oncologist go? Any change to your diagnosis?

Hey,
Thank you for asking.
I had the feeding tube installed at Duke last Tuesday. I was in the hospital until Saturday, they were just making sure I was healing up and accepting of the feeding...

I also met with my entire Team. The PETScan revealed areas of concern in my neck and vocal cords (chords). Heading back to Duke this Wednesday for a procedure on my neck??
