Lee, he was having radiation first then they changed it to chemo and thought they got it.
The next set of xrays showed a large amount of pea sized nodules in his abdominal cavity. They did surgery to get them out and then did a long dose of "hot chemo" while he was opened on the table. They followed that up with a new kind of treatment that was supposed to be easier on the body but still attack the cancer cells they might have missed. It didn't work and they started him back on chemo again. We didn't get to talk to his doctor before we left because he ordered the scan and had two surgeries to do in another hospital. He said if William needed surgery, he would have come right back and canceled the other surgery. Diana spoke to the doctor at the hospital and knows more...I will find out in the morning. I know right now they have him on pain killers for the attacks that were making him double over and they have him on iv drip to get him hydrated again. I will let you know the particulars tomorrow...

His temp came down as his fluids increased and the doc who said they "didn't see anything" on the CAT scan said it might be gastro-enteritis (sp?) and maybe a gas bubble was what they thought was a tumor in the xray.

It's what I am thinking, EIleena...it sounds either a reaction to the chemo...his body saying enough!...or a reaction to new meds... I was thinking staph, or giardia...well, a whole lot of thoughts...hence the gazillion questions.. and wondered what the elimination process has been with the medicos. He sounds like he is certainly struggling at the moment...a very frightening time for all of you.
Hugs, lovely.

Will was rushed to the hospital again....his doctors are on vacation and can't be reached....the surgeon took him in and opened him up and closed him right away. The cancer is everywhere and it is solidifying his intestines there is nothing they can do. It might be days or a month at most

Some of you may remember a few months ago I posted that my brother who has cancer was getting married, well I need to ask for more prayers for him, please. He was getting chemo and the doctor thought the tumors were shrinking and things were on the road to recovery. The last time doc checked had her very puzzled, the tumors are back, so she sent him to a cancer hospital to have them check. Winds up, the new doctor wants to open his abdomen and see just how much cancer is there and take out the tumors. He will be going in tomorrow morning and should be on table for a number of hours. He will be getting a high does of radiation directly into his abdomen after the doctor removes the tumors. Please keep William in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.
I'm so sorry...I know how scared y'all must be...prayers are with you!
