Drove to Baltimore late Friday (12/12/08) to get my Neulasta shot (promotes white blood cells). Megan phoned in evening to tell me her father had phoned with bad news. He has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A tumor is pressing on his intestine. His GP got him into the local hospital for a PET Scan to determine extent of cancerous cells; afterward he was transferred to University of Maryland hospital in Balto where specialist is doing a procedure this afternoon to unblock his intestine and insert a stent.
A parent has been diagnosed with cancer shortly after each of Megan's pregnancies. She offered to never get pregnant again. I advised that her preganancy was not the cause. In either case.
Not good news at any time but especially before the holidays. Lloyd's wife Jeanne thinks he'll be home mid-week so we will be able to spend Christmas Eve as a family enjoying Tyler's 2-year old antics.
