The CAT scan revealed two spots on Gary's liver. We are unsure at this point if they are malignant or not. Thursday morning, Dr. Howard will make a small incision and perform a biopsy of the liver. If the spots are malignant, he will not perform the Whipple procedure. Rather, Gary will begin chemo as soon as possible. If the spots are benign, he will go ahead and complete the operation. We are praying for the latter, of course.

Thanks again for the continued acts of support and kindness. We are trying to keep spirits high and hopes lifted. We are researching as much as we can to find successful treatment options.
