A Couple of Things

Here are a quick couple of things:

I got this email from my mom this morning updating Sonya and me on our uncle:

"Steve got his portocath put in on Wednesday. I got him home around 3 pm after the procedure and a stop at the drugstore.
Dr. Reese told him on Tuesday that this chemo would not cure him – it might shrink the tumors and give him a little more comfort, but there was no cure. I think it sunk in once Dr. Reese told him. He seems OK with it – said he was going to try the chemo but if it was too horrible, he’d quit and just take what time he had left. They have assured him this chemo will be much worse than what he took before (diarrhea, hair loss, nausea, etc.) It’s a lot stronger. His first treatment is Monday the 27th. He will be at Dr. Reese’s from 8:30 until 2:30 for infusion and then go home and home health care will come out and hook him to the automatic pump that he will wear for another 48 hours. That’s about 54 hours of straight chemo! After that, he won’t have another treatment until two weeks from Monday (10th)."
Nana told me when they did a CT scan while Steve was in the hospital a couple of weeks ago that they found a spot in his stomach.

Also our friend Mr. Joe is in the hospital. This is what I know. He is at CMC Pineville with an infected gall bladder. They have him on antibiotics. I don't know a lot as I have not spoken with Mrs. Ellie yet. I did chat with Joey on Facebook. As most of you know Mr. Joe has brain cancer and goes to Duke every two weeks for his chemo.

Please be praying for these two.
