The Final Word

Well, went to the Oncologist's Thursday.  We weren't really holding out much hope but he confirmed what we had been thinking.  The chemo was not doing any good and there was nothing really else to try.  They pulled out the PICC line since I will have no need for it now.  Hospice has already called to set up our first appointment here next Tuesday.  I will do what I can here at home.  When I get down too far I will go into the Genesis hospice over by the Bettendorf Library. 

In the mean time, I just take things one day at a day.  Got much paperwork to organize for Brenda and junk to try to clear out.  So much do do, never dreamt we would get so pressed for time.

We haven't given up all hope but it doesn't look good.  Betting on a miracle now and that is always a long shot.  I will continue to update this blog as I feel able but don't expect much.  I have been very weak.  Cancer is an insidious disease.  Can strike without warning to anyone.

Live your life to the fullest.  You just never know when your number will get called.  Enough for now.  Take care and God Bless.
