Hi everyone.
Dr. Wang (the surgeon) came to visit Gary last night. He will not operate on Gary right now. It appears that operating now would be way too risky and not possible at this point. What does this mean for Gary?

I am not sure. The doctors make their rounds ater 8 PM most nights and I have not had a chance to sit and talk with them. It is difficult for Gary to know the questions that need to be asked to allow us both to understand what is going on.
I am hoping to be at the hospital tonight so that I can talk with the doctors to find out what the heck the plan is.

In the meantime, the doctor has finally decided to give Gary nutrients through his IV. He has not had anything since Sunday night. This will not cure his hunger pains but it will have to do.

I am not sure what is going on with his liver operation. Maybe that is too risky as well.

The very thing that is responsible for shrinking and killing his cancer (Avastin and Chemo) has created a whole muriad of other problems that we have to deal with now.

Pray for Gary's spirits. He is really having a difficult time. He is frustrated, impatient and angry and who wouldn't be in his situation?

I will see him this afternoon and hopefully after talking to docs I will have a better understanding of what the gameplan is - both short-term and long-term.

Have a blessed day!
Love, Lisa
