    Thank you everyone. it means a lot.

    it's tough not knowing anything right now for everyone. tomorrow we should have some kind of pronosis and some more info after he meets with his oncologist.

    thanks again




    R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

    The important thing right now is to write down all the questions you have for the oncologist. I hope that he goes with at least two other people. As a cancer patient myself, I took a coworker along with me to see the surgeon and she "took minutes" and wrote down everything he said. It was such a help.

    Oh yes, and remain positive. Cancer can be/is beaten every day and your FIL will fight this and win!!!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Thank you.

    I don't know who is going to the appt with them if anyone. I'm sure my MIL will be there so hopefully someone is taking notes.

    We are all trying to stay positive. It's the worst right now becuase we just don't know anything and sometimes you can't keep the worst thoughts out but we are staying pretty upbeat... so are my MIL and FIL. They seem very positive although I don't know if that is just because they don't want to worry their kids or if they really are feeling that positive. I hope it's the latter.

    We should have more news tonight

    {{{{hugs}}}} Prayers that everything is treatable. It's great you seem to be a close family, and you will all get through this together, I'm sure!
