Lisa's Updates 10/22/07
Hello loved ones!!
Here is a new update on Randy's cancer, just got off the phone w/Ray & he corrected some of my errors. Yes Dr. Anderson did remove all of the grapefruit size tumor which was growing on the outside of the liver so we were correct in that. The large tumor that is still inside Randy's liver is the one that the ct scan reported as growing 2 more centimeters since July. The center of the tumor is dead but the out edges are still active and obviously growing. This is the tumor that further treatment cannot be performed on due to it damaging the liver more than helping it. The rest of my info was basically correct!! I talked to Randy at services yesterday am and he said that he is starting to have pain, a really bad burning sensation in his nerve endings from his waist to his knees and sleep is hard at times.
No other news for now, except need RSVP's to Aunt Martha & mom's bd celebrations from those of you who haven't so I can get an accurate head count for the reservations. Aunt Martha's on Saturday Nov 3 @ 5:00, eat @ 5:30 and mom's on Nov 24 same time same place, Fisherman's Cove.
Lot of love to you all,
Lisa

Lisa Update 10/18
Hello Loved Ones!!
Well time for an update on the family in this area:
Randy went to see his specialist's yesterday & his ct-scan revealed that his lymph nodes under the liver are now swelling, the oncologist did not come right out to say that the cancer
has spread to his lymph glands but Ray & Aunt Martha both came away w/that impression. Also we were told at 1 point that they had removed all of the tumors and we were informed incorrectly. They have not removed the 1 large tumor and it has now grown 2 more centimeters and is now an 8, they apparently removed the outer part of the tumor which had tried to adhese to his colon. They have been able to kill the outer edges but not the inner core. According to the oncologist further radiation treatments would do more damage to the liver than the cancer is right now. There is an exprimental treatment not approved by the FDA but it is NOT A CURE, it would only slow the cancer down and at this time I don't know what Randy's thoughts are on that. NO time period was mentioned.
Now Danny and I discussed mom's 80th birthday last night and we reached the decision that for those who would like to join mom for her 80th celebration of life, we are meeting at the Fisherman's Cove in the reserve on Nov 24th (Saturday after Thanksgiving). If there are enough of us we can reserve the private room upstairs, I am calling them today to get the info. Mom loves their prime rib and it is where we celebrated her 70th birthday and just this year Uncle Fred's 70th birthday celebration was there. I will email everyone w/an update on the time.
Now shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, this is a secret so be discreet!! Aunt Martha's kids are giving her a SURPRISE 75TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION and it is to take place on Nov. 3rd at (can you guess) you got it FISHERMAN'S COVE!! Boy they are making a killing off of our family. I found this out last night from Lisha after I had talked to Danny about mom's. I couldn't tell Lisha b/c my phone was beeping indicating that I had talked entirely too much on it last night and ran that blasted battery down. Lisha said that a time has not been decided but that they would get back to me on it, probably like mom somewhere mid afternoon to evening. (Update: Ok just heard from Ray, the dinner for Auntie Martha is not really a secret anymore but it will take place Nov 3rd @ 5:00, if any of you who are coming could RSVP back to me or Ray or Lolo so we can get a semi good head count to see if we qualify for the private upstairs room we would greatly appreciate it!!)
November is a busy month for our family, I know that Sherrill Wayne, Trish and Zach are also celebrating their birthdays. I am sure that I have forgotten someone but not on purpose.
Gotta go,
Love to you all,
Lisa

On the Move
Hello Family
The past few months have been filled with unknowns for us. Rob decided in May to leave the field of education. For the past five months, we have been searching for a career change for him. It has been exciting, disappointing, scary, and exhausting. On Sunday, Rob left for Oklahoma. He has accepted a position with Newpark Drilling Fluids as a mud engineer. You all know Dad spent 25 years as a mud engineer spending the last nine years at Newpark. Rob will spend the next eight weeks between Houston and Oklahoma City going to school. The kids and I will stay here in Colorado until the house sells or he is done with school, whichever comes first. After that, we will probably settle in Ada, Ok. It will be a central location for Rob's work area. It was a very tearful goodbye on everyone's part. Rylan will have the hardest adjustment with Rob being gone. He repeatedly said, "I need Daddy here" "I can't let Daddy go". It was very heartbreaking. We humbling ask that you pray for our family as we are apart from one another. Pray for our house to sell quickly. Pray for this transition time.
Thank you. Amy
