Weekend update

What a weekend we had! Joe was not himself at all on Saturday, not feeling well and experiencing a lot of pain. We got through that day and on Sunday afternoon he began to feel better. I don't know if it's the cancer or the chemo or both, but it was apparent that he was giving up.

Sunday night he was feeling better, eating better and was able to converse with us all, especially Gina who was heading back to UB for the week.

This morning he is in good spirits and welcomed Harriett, our morning nurse.

All in all, it's been a roller coaster ride for sure. One that I would rather, if you don't mind, not be on!

We're taking one day at a time. Joe will have chest, abdominal and pelvic CT scans on the 9th of November. Results of those scans will determine our next course of action.

For now, we're keeping a close watch on him and working hard to keep him pain free and comfortable.

Thank you all for your prayers and cards
!

Good friends are like stars.........You don't always see them, but you
know they are always there

With love and hope,

Vicki, Gina & Tom
