    Hi Marie, thank you for
    Hi Marie, thank you for thinking of us. It's been a really hard week. Unfortunately, things aren't going so well for my dear man. The stent went well, but a tumor higher up is now completely blocking his colon. We weren't told previously that there are now two large tumors. So, at this point, the only thing left is to do a colostomy. The problem is that since he's had so many operations, with the accompaning scar tissue, it is going to be a very dangerous operation. Therefore, the local surgeon is going to contact a surgeon in Boston at either Tufts Medical or Mass General since this operation is way above his skill level. But we're stuck between a rock and a hard place since he could die on the operating table or die from sepsis when the colon painfully explodes. Not great choices. I am quite afraid that he'll never be able to come home again. :'-(

    And I'm feeling ok, still waiting for the pathology report, but to tell you the truth, I haven't even thought about it. Maybe no news is good news in this case.

    All my best to everyone,
    Cynthia

    Sending you both Prayers
    I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

    Hi all,
    Thank you all for
    Hi all,

    Thank you all for the kind words and prayers. I was surprised to receive a text from Rick this morning telling me that he was having emergency surgery in an hour. I drove like a bat out of heck to Boston and got to the OR 5 minutes before he went in. His Mom and I are nervously waiting. Any and all good vibes or prayers are welcome!

    I'll update when possible.

    Sending all the good vibes and just said a prayer. Glad you arrived there safely and in time to see him before he went into the OR, I know that meant a lot to him.
    Cyberly waiting anxiously with you and his mom.
