A Red Lobster Day

We LOVE Red Lobster but only go there to celebrate something, maybe once a year?  After today's doctor's appointment we did NOT have anything to celebrate but felt we just needed to go and drown our sorrows in their delicious biscuits and seafood.  So, eat we did and we enjoyed every forkful.

I'm numb as I write this.  It appears that Bill was misdiagnosed.  He does not have pancreatic cancer - he has esophogeal cancer.  I suppose it doesn't matter where it started since it is stage IV and in the liver, lungs, pancreas, esophogus and lymph nodes, no matter where it started.  However, since chemo is tailored to the kind of cancer, the past 2 months the chemo was for the wrong area.  Thus, the cancer has gotten worse.

Tomorrow he has an emergency chest CT then Thursday they will give him the "big guns" chemo.  Treatment will last over 6 hours and side effects will not be good.  We would appreciate your prayers as we deal with this new development.
