He starts a second round of chemotherapy on Monday, Dec. 14 with a second-line drug, Avastin (every two weeks).

Thank you,

Update. George has been in hospice care for about a month or so and he died at home yesterday morning. Several family members were present- his wife, son, brother and sister-in-law. It's been almost a year since his diagnosis. He was the person who gave me my final confirmation exam in junior high, and he gave it to me in a way that made me really think about all I had learned in confirmation classes and how to apply it to my life. Not just going through the motions of confirmation as an age 13 ritual. I am sad but also a little bit relieved because he had been having really bad headaches the past several days.
