Unfortunately yesterday did not go as well as we had hoped at the Mayo Clinic. Additional lesions were found in the lungs and two "tiny" tumors were found in the abdomen. We finally got the diagnosis we've been dreading - Stage 4. My heart broke. They're still planning on doing a lung biopsy - probably the first week in October. They want to be sure what they're dealing with. They will be changing his chemo meds. Praying he gets a little energy back and no real side effects - other than being really tired he hasn't had too many side effects. Of course the first thing he told everyone was that he just needed to make it to May - their 50th wedding anniversary. I talked to my brother about my plans to throw them a party. Told my husband this morning too. Hoping for a snowy winter so hubby makes some good money and we can pay for the kind of party I want to throw them. All of your prayers and love are appreciated.
Oh no, Robyn! I'm so sorry that he got this news. I will definitely continue to pray! Sending ((HUGS)) and love.
Oh Robyn my dear.. I am so sorry about the news, but I will continue to keep positive thoughts and saying prayers. Big hugs and I am here for you if you just need to vent or talk.. Hugs
I'm so sorry to hear this, Robyn. You must all be devastated. I'll be keeping all of you in my heart and prayers and especially for your dad to be able to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Hugs and love to all of you.
@rchansen Robyn, I'm sorry for your news. But thankful for their long marriage. Praying that desire for the anniversary and financial blessing for you be granted.
Thank you for the update. I'm sorry the Mayo Clinic didn't go as well as you hoped. Still praying for you and your family.
My heart hurts for you, your dad, and your family. I'm sending up a prayer for peace and for strength.
So sorry to hear such devastating news. My thoughts go out to you and your family as you process and deal with this.
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry to hear this news Big hugs to you, your dad and your family. I can't imagine how difficult this is. I will be thinking good thoughts that everything progresses at a slow pace and he keeps his energy and that the 50 year celebration is the best celebration ever!
Oh no, i was just reading your other thread and he sounded like he was doing amazingly well given everything - i hope you get the winter you need and the time you need to make their 50th a wonderful memory, thinking of you all
