Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 About two months ago I posted about my uncle finding out he had cancer. After all was said and done, they determined it originated in his esophagus. They weren't getting much help or information from his local hospital, so they asked he be transferred to the cancer center in Ann Arbor (University of Michigan). Again, after nothing happening, my aunt and cousins decided to bring him to the Cancer Treatments Centers of America. He is at the one located in Zion, Illinois. He has been here for almost 2 weeks now, my cousin and I (his daughter) drove over Tuesday night and planned on staying through the weekend, since my aunt has been here alone almost this whole time. Well today was the toughest part so far. It has been 2 months since they found the cancer in his liver, and he has yet to get any type of treatment for it. Right now he is to weak for them to attempt any chemo, and unfortunately the cancer is progressing far to fast. They needed him to build up his nutrition to be able to handle the treatment, but it just isn't happening. Because it has taken so long, and he is so weak, and the rate the cancer is progressing, the doctors determined that at this point even if they did start the chemo, it wouldn't help him. My aunt made the decision today to have him transferred back to Michigan, to their home where hospice will come in and set up a bed and just continue to keep him comfortable. If you could keep him and the family in your prayers it would be much appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
