Hello Loved Ones:
Yes it is the bearer of bad news again, me!
Randy went to see his oncologist today and the news wasn't good. His liver is totally consumed w/tumors. One is the size of a softball, one the size of a grapefruit, several the size of cue balls + many, many more. The cancer has now spread into his blood stream and is metastasizing thru his body. No time period was asked for or mentioned by either the doctor or family. His oncologist gave him a new experimental medication which should slow the growth of the cancers but will not cure him. Also medication to alleviate the pain. He goes back in 21 days on the 28th of April to see if the med has stopped the growth and spread of the cancer, if not he will take him off of it. Needless to say the mood is quite somber around here. The last I heard from Randy he is planning on being at the reunion this year, I suggest if he comes we put him in the cook's cabin, the beds are a tad bit more comfortable than the cabins. Mom and Pop are coming but only for one day.
Mom is doing some better but memory is getting worse each day. Almost time to take the keys. Her car has been parked for over 2 weeks now with a dead battery so I think she realizes it also. Used to it would have been fixed by the same day it was discovered.
I really am looking forward to seeing all of you at the reunion. It gets more important every year.
Love to you all,
Lisa
