Larry is at Shands Medical Center, now. Surgery this morning to probably remove his left arm. They will try to deal with whatever else they find when they open him. Looks like cancer has shotgunned across his body. Prayers sure needed, and thanks...........

The surgery did not happen. Opened up the shoulder. Bones had collapsed, eaten up. They put a block on the nerves going into the shoulder and arm. Could not do anything. Biopsy showed the cancer in the shoulder/arm, is the same as that in his pelvis. Tumor in his groin area, activity on his lungs now, and liver. Three months ago, he had no idea. Just started feeling run down, and had some pain in his shoulder. That quickly, it has shotgunned throughout his body. Damn..........

Sam, I just lost a very good friend named Larry. You have what humble prayers I can offer for your Larry.

My wife works for Hospice (not a nurse) and from the stories she tells me this is exactly how it usually happens. People (of all ages) go to the doctor because of a minor persistent pain, thinking it's nothing serious. A day later they're told they only have a month or two to live. This happens every day in a small town Hospice office!! It is heart breaking to hear some of the stories. One just never knows............. Prayers are on the way. Bob

Visited again today. Doctor says Larry has three different cancers now. Lymphoma, Carcinoma, and myeloma. Tomorrow, the plan is to stop treatment, other than maintain his pain meds. He has two different self operated morphine pumps now. Transfer to Hospice within the week.
Thanks for thinking of him guys. It is just astounding that all this could happen so quickly. He went from no diagnosed cancer, to this, in less than 4 months.
Oh, and it seems the original source of all this was an diagnosed prostate cancer. They just did not catch it some months back, when he had his annual physical.
Sam......
