First Entry

This blog is a little window into our crazy life right now. Hopefully through these updates everyone can stay informed at their own pace. I can't promise daily updates, but for sure I will keep up on any new happenings.

Current Status: Bill is (hopefully) going in today to have his lung drained. The Dr thinks he will feel better just having that done. That should take away the shortness of breath and relieve some of the coughing.

So far what we know...
There is fluid in his lung and his spleen is enlarged. There is a cancer mass in his groin area that probably can't be removed, however treatment would work on reducing it. They will treat his whole system with chemo, or another type of drug, in case there is another cancer spot that wasn't seen by the scan. We are off to the City of Hope probably next week or the week after to get a plan and start treatment. They also have clinical trials available if that is an avenue we need to explore. We are hanging in there and truly just taking this day by day. Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes... keep praying!!
