The results are that dad has advanced pancreatic cancer and his two spots on his liver are cancerous too. It is an aggressive cancer and he will be starting on chemotherapy next Thursday. They will do chemo three weeks in a row, take a week off, then again three weeks in a row and take a week off. After two rounds of chemo they will do scans again to see if the tumors have shrunk at all and to see if the chemo is helping at all. They did give him some new medicine for the pain which is good so he will be more comfortable and not feel so bad. The chemo he is taking the only side effect he will have according to the doctor is fautigue and tiredness, but he shouldn't feel nausea and he shouldn't loose his hair, but it may thin a little bit.
We are all staying positive and keeping our hopes up and dad being dad is being his smart ass self. He told mom God was waiting for him up in heaven with two smart blondes so mom says well I'll just dye my hair blonde and then dad says , I said smart dear :).....
So he has been like that all day and mom is just giving him that look like shut the hell up! But all we ask from everyone is prayers, positive thoughts and if you know of any good jokes send them our way - because we want laughter not pity!
Much love to all
