From Lisa:
Thought I should give you the latest update on Randy. He had his second treatment Monday and the doctor was very pleased with the results of the first treatment. It seems that the large tumor is showing signs of dying. They also planned to do another MRI yesterday to see if progress was being made in killing off the tumors. If all had went well Randy was to have been released today, but it was not to be. He has begun to throw up blood & so far they are unable to pinpoint where the blood is coming from. Also after the MRI they have decided that they need to do further treatments but these treatments will be much different from the first. The chemo will be administered by needle individually into the areas as they are too close to vital organs (such as his colon) and a more controlled administrative procedure is called for. He will be in the hospital until at least Friday due to all the complications that have arisen and also due to his weakness.
Spoke with Aunt Martha just now and she is really tired and disheartened, prayers, calls, cards, etc are really needed at this time. They plan on giving him a week to recover and then will begin the next set of treatments. I will keep you all updated, you will know almost as soon as I do.
From Amy: If you need Randy's address, just leave a note in the comment section and I will get it to you.
