So the time has finally come, for reality to set in. All my optimistic thoughts, and positive attitude, have finally come to an end, and I have to finally admit, that we aren't going to be able to save him anymore.

The liver biopsy came back, and showed that the Cancer, has spread to the Liver. So that is not a good thing. I just wanted to update everyone, so you all can know. The doctor says that with this type of cancer, there is no treatment that will cure it. They would try chemotherapy, to prolong his life some, and try to slow it down, but due to the fact that the 4 weeks of chemo that he had before, his kidneys wouldn't be able to handle it. So, the life expectancy is less than six months. He is going to be released home from the hospital tomorrow, and Hospice will be helping us out. So most people know what that means....."Comfort Care". We don't know how long he's gonna stay with us, but if we all know him well, we know that he is pretty damn stubborn, and never does anything normal. So who knows....could be longer than expected. But for now, we'll take this ending, just like we took the begining 6 months ago when the cancer was diagnosed.....ONE DAY AT A TIME...THATS ALL WE CAN DO. (as Marty said)

Right now I can't even begin to express my feelings in detail, but I can say, I'm hurt, shocked, sad, mad...and any other feelings you can think of to go along with it. I wish I could be telling everyone some great news right now...but its just not the case. Please continue to support us with your prayers and thoughts.
