Journal entry by Holly Howard —
Sorry it’s been so long since we updated you all.
Bill hasn’t had any more bleeding from esophageal varices but he had them banded again and he’s on meds for portal hypertension(increased blood pressure in liver).
He had radiation on his hip mass and left adrenal mass. He tolerated that well. And has no more pain in his hip.
His liver had too many tumors for the radiation they were planning to do. So 2 weeks ago he resumed chemo. He will get chemo every 2 weeks for now.
He didn’t tolerate it well like he did the first two years. Lost a ton of weight and very exhausted. We are trying to find foods he can tolerate. And we have found a brand of nutrition shake he likes.
He usually has a basset or two snuggling him at all times and occasionally the cutest 8 month old happiest baldy.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers for strength and restored nutrition.
