Talked to my brother yesterday. He had just finished a chemo treatment. He got his test back on his stomach and it came back looking good. Said some of his polyps in his stomach were inflamed, but nothing bad. He's on a stomach pill now to help him. So right now he's able to keep his stomach and they will look at it again in 6 months. We were scared that they would have to remove his stomach. So it's really good news there. He has 3 more chemo treatments left. He's having to take shots to keep his white blood cell count up. But we hope that he can get these last 3 treatments in on time. After he finishes his treatments he'll have his second surgery to reconstruct his small intestant. He's suppose to get his thyroid checked to make sure it's working alright. He's so thin right now. 6 feet and about 120lbs. That's my guess on his weight. He won't tell me what he weighs right now. He knows I'll fuss at him to take his vitamins like he's suppose to and not doing. Going to buy some and stick it in his pill box so he will take them.

Some other good news. His wife is graduating from college today. She's really execited. Wanted to be there today for that, but D has a finual today himself. Her family is going to have a graduation party for her next saturday. So we will go up there for that.

So that's what's up right now.

Monty

Thany You, I get really sad some days. When I saw his picture this morning I've just started crying like crazy. The saddness of the reality of his illness is just overwhelming me today.
