I received this email tonight from an *old* friend.  I have known her for 28 years now!  She and Robbie (her DH of only 3 or 4 years) have a 3 month old DD named Micah.  Also, they recently found out that her mother has Alzheimers.  Thanks ladies!

Good evening all!  We got another round of bad news today. For those of you who don't know Robbie was back in the hospital last Wednesday through Friday.  They ended up drawing some fluid off of his lungs and sending it off for biopsy.  The fluid came back positive for cancer cells.  The same cancer cells floating around his abdomen.  His liver is still not functioning properly and now his cancer Dr is saying they are not sure his body will tolerate the chemo if we try it.   The chemo could in fact kill him before the cancer does.
They put him on a home pain pump today and are trying to keep him as comfortable as possible at home.  By next week a decision has to be made by his cancer Dr about whether or not to take the risk of chemo and we have to make the decision of whether or not we want to take the risk.
 
We are now deeper in the valley than ever and we are having a hard time taking it all in.  We've gone through a whole range of emotions over the last few months and now we are left mostly with anger and sadness.  The physical part of this battle has been horrible enough on Robbie, now the emotional part of it is ripping through BOTH of us.
 
We need your PRAYERS!   Not only for strength and peace through this but also for wisdom for both us and his Dr's.  We are still praying and asking God for a miracle and for healing but every time we think nothing else can happen and that we've rounded a corner something new pops up.  Our faith is wearing thin I'm afraid.  So please, please, PRAY!!
 
Love,
Friday
