Randy: Progress Report

hello loved ones,

thought i would bring you up to date on Randy's progress, i am so sorry to have to tell you all this but Randy has been removed from the transplant list as his cancer has become more aggressive. he now has 3 confirmed tumors on his liver with the largest being over 6 cm, 1 that is around 2.5 cm & 1 over 1 cm. they have opted to try chemo by threading a tube thru his groin artery & feeding the chemo directly into it. IF & THE OPERATIVE WORD IS IF, they can destroy the 2 smaller tumors and shrink the larger tumor back down to a 4 or less they will put him back on the transplant list. for now his care has been transferred to another doctor who will be in charge of his chemo treatments. no idea yet when he will begin his treatment as the other doctor will have to contact him & that process will have to begin, hopefully by next week. now is when we all need to pull together and support him and aunt martha especially. a phone call would do wonders for their moral. prayers are needed now more than ever. i promise to keep you all updated and hope and pray that my next e-mail will be a lighter hearted one.

love you all
lisa
