The Hurry-up Train

We feel like we've climbed aboard the 'hurry-up' train - waiting for the call - and now we're trying to be realistic since hearing the news that Ron is number 5 on the liver transplant list.

If the call doesn't come in 90 days - Ron will receive chemo for the liver cancer. We've set our sights on a new liver, but until that happens, he's gotta make due with the old worn out one; chemo will keep the cancer at bay.

The treatment is Chemoembolization - basically it's directed chemo - placed in the liver cancer tumor - cutting off the blood supply to the tumor - it's poison to the tumor.

Days will pass -we'll go to work, handle our household chores, enjoy our family and wait.........all aboard!
