Prayers needed for my husband. Jim has just finished treatment for hypopharyngeal and base of tongue cancer. When the gastroenterologist placed the feeding tube prior to treatment, he was very unnerved by the way Jim's esophagus looked. He will be doing biopsies Tuesday. I've known this physician for many years: I am more than a little concerned. Your prayers and good thoughts would be so appreciated.

    Nothing is worse then the look of unease in a doctors face. Hopefully the biopsies will be non-cancerous. I will be praying for you.

    biopsy update
    Yesterday, the gastro scoped Jim's esophagus and took biopsies: based on the improvement in the looks of things, the feeding tube was removed. Jim was one happy camper about that.

    We will have the results of the biopsies later this week, first of next week but based on the doctor's observations and his decision to remove the feeding tube, we are so happy!

    Just wanted to share some good news today!
