The results of the CScan came in and it showed pancreatic cancer which had metastasized to the liver and skin.  It's a tough one to treat.  Thanks for all the prayers.

Oh, dear...  That is tough...  Praying...

Update: My brother-in-law will be undergoing surgery this Thursday, December 15, the Octave of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception to remove the tumor which includes part of his intestine. It will be followed by chemo on a weekly basis. Thank you for your continued prayers.  You will be remembered in mine.

Thank you for keeping us posted!

Please continue to do so!

I will be praying that the surgery goes well...  

Note from my niece: God has blessed us today with a wonderful surgery! The umbilical tumor was small and had negative margins so there was no need for more extensive intra-abdominal surgery. We foresee and pray for a speedy recovery. Please send up prayers of great thanks to God. And continue those prayers for healing since there is still a long road ahead.

We want to thank you for your prayers from the bottom of our hearts!

 

Oh, good!  Thanks be to God!

I was thinking of posting a comment asking how he is doing.

Deo gratias!  :-)
