Well, our results were no better than Sally's .... we went in exuberant as Layne has been feeling better than he has in ten years! Everyone has been just so amazed how well he has done!

And we came out with news that he has mets to the liver and a new lymph gland.

We're still in shock (obviously) but we want you to know we love you guys.

    My thoughts and prayers go
    My thoughts and prayers go out to you. It is strange the turns we all face in this battle -- and this cancer seems to hang on even when someone has the audacity to beat it.
    You both are strong, and have a wonderful attitude and faith. And you know we are all here for you - as William said time to get the dancing shoes out and a nudge to enjoy the truly important things in life.

    Hugs,
    Cindy

    Did the Dr give you any
    Did the Dr give you any options? We got one...more chemo, but he was very low key about it doing much except buy a little more time. I have written the Dr in San Antonio who performs the Theresphere therapy there. Maybe that's an option we can look at.

    Our prayers and love go out to you and all your family. Jim and I will continue to pray that your business increases, that Layne continues to feel well and that you, Betty, continue to have the strength to smooth his pathway.

    Betty and Layne,
    Just so sorry to hear this news. Can't believe it and just can't take it in. My prayers are with you and hopes that they will give Layne good options. This EC is one heck of a monster and don't think any of us ever feel safe. Prayers always for you all and your family.

    so sorry about this bad news
    I just wanted to say "sorry" about this horrible bad recent news. My husband Ed has mets to his liver right from when he was first diagnosed last October. We have a pet scan coming up next week so I know how you are feelings. This cancer is horrible and I am just praying for both of you.
