My husband Dave who has metastatic rectal cancer with METS to liver and lung was admitted to the hospital on New Years Eve with a high fever and extreme pain.
After doing a CAT scan we have found out that the cancer has now spread to the lymph nodes in the abdomen and also that he has a tumor at the site of his incision in the scar tissue where his hepatic artery pump is in the mid chest.
Right now the plan is pain management which seems to be helping but also our oncologist is planning on starting him on Camptosar and Erbitux.
I ask that you would all pray for him as he is the only family I have aside from my brother. He is my life and I'm praying very hard that he keeps fighting not just for me but for himself.
I know that sometimes its easier to say lets stop doing all of this because of the pain but he has been battling this ugly disease for 2 years without much in the way of a complaint - he would say just let's keep going. He's a fighter.
Thank you for reading - I greatly appreciate it.
