Let's kick the !@#$ out of this...

 

December 17, 2003

Well, a mixed  bag of information today.  If you are a glass half empty kind of person, John got the official second opinion diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.  If you are a glass half full kind of person, it appears that this is a less aggressive strand of the adenocarcinoma.  That means, it may be more receptive to chemotherapy.  I prefer to look on the positive side.  John's comment was, "Let's get this party started, and kick the !@#$ out of this."
 
The next step is another appointment with the University of Chicago on Tuesday the 23 to sign the consent forms for the clinical trail and get another CT scan to see where we are currently at now a month after the original scan.  We will also get the schedule for the chemotherapy.
 
Keep those prayers coming, and ask God for strength and faith!!
