All my kids and grandkids were here over the past week after learning about David's liver cancer diagnoses. They have been such a support for their dad and the grandkids have been such a good source of cheer and joy for him, I am sure. I was also so very glad to have all of them home and Amber took some pictures of the three of them, both at my house and over at Dave's. We had a good visit. Julia and Lincoln had to go home yesterday, but will be back in a couple of weeks, hopefully, to help her dad some more. Amber will be here until this weekend with Lily and Crew. Rhett has left New York and is home now, and will be starting a job here for the summer instead, so he can be here to help his dad as well. Matt and Kelly have been a great help and comfort to Dave and Kaylene---but I am sure they have been grateful to share the load since the others got here.
We got a bit of good news today-finally- from Dave's doctors. They are going to start radiation therapy on his lymph nodes as soon as Thursday, they said, and as soon as they can shrink the tumor on the lymph nodes, the surgeon says he will probably do surgery and operate and get out the liver tumor. He told Dave and Kaylene, that he had removed larger ones than Dave's before with no problems. (But since the lymph nodes have cancer--he doesn't want to risk spreading by surgery (I assume). The oncologist is also going to do a new therapy on the liver tumor as well in order to shrink it, and that will probably start as soon as they can do some tests on his heart and lungs to make sure he is strong enough. It sounds like we are finally getting some things done about this condition, and that makes all of us happy and relieved. (And so very thankful for Dr Sorenson of Huntsman's referral to two such great doctors to look after David.) We have had a great outpouring of love, prayers and support from so many friends and family and we are all grateful for such loving people who care about all of us. Thanks to everyone.
Here are some pictures now:
