Well, Mike feels lousy and he's in quite a lot of pain! The pain is felt in his abdomen, in his throat when he swallows, and he's also feeling incredibly weak. We don't have any idea what is going on...but it appears serious, since he can't digest any food he puts in his stomach.

Mike called the oncologists office this morning and all they did was call in Nexium for him to take. I was on my way to Fayetteville for my doctor appointment, so Amber picked it up for Mike, and took it over to him. There has been little improvement all day for him. He's not eating very well. All he has had to eat today is a plain bagel, and Ensure shake, and an omelet. He has burped so much, his esophagus is raw. He told me this evening, he would rather shave his head and go back on the other chemotherapy he had last year, than to deal with this new stuff any longer. The bleeding last night from his biliary drains has me extremely concerned. I pleaded with Mike to let me take him to the ER when I got home, but he told me we would just wait until tomorrow morning, when we see the oncologist. It has been difficult seeing him in so much pain this evening.

I guess, all we can do is wait and see what tomorrow brings..............I pray whatever we're told tomorrow, it will not knock us off our feet. I don't think either one of us could take very much more. We're both weary and tired. I just want to say I appreciate your thoughts and prayers, and for taking time to remind us we're not alone.
