Our next steps...

I ended short of telling you what happened Friday...and the date was wrong...Dec. 3, 2010.

We met with Dr. Wallentine, the oncologist, and he asked lots of questions, wanting to get Robin's history and background. I think he wanted to know if he had any exposure to cancer causing environments but couldn't connect any up. He showed us the CT and PT scans and we saw the spots that denoted cancer cells. He doesn't want to do surgery on his jaw area as it would be very invasive and he prefers to get a biopsy and a liver section. He was very thorough and spent more than an hour talking and explaining. But there still isn't a decision as to what will be done till the liver biopsy is done tomorrow. Most assuredly there will be chemo and perhaps radiation on the jaw area to see if that tumor can be shrunk down...thus giving him relief from the pressure and pain.

We will see the oncologist again this Friday Dec. 10th. So until then there is nothing to report...Except to send many of you thanks for your love, concern and prayers and for fasting and prayer. We feel the comfort of having good and loving family and friends in our lives.
