Graham has put up a very tenacious fight against his crazy aggressive cancer, but, I'm sorry to say, we're officially out of ammunition now. Yesterday's PET-scan showed that the cancer has once again spread into his brain, and has advanced much further throughout his body. More chemo or radiation would have no benefit and might actually hasten his death. So we're focusing now on pain management and making him as comfortable and mellow as possible: massages, soothing music, bird watching, reading him the wonderful emails and cards so many of you continue to send... The doctor thinks Graham has a month or so left with us, probably less.
Graham is sleeping quite a bit now, so it's tough to reach him by phone. But if you want to send him an email or card, I will be sure to read it to him. Hearing from y'all always brings a smile to his face.
Thanks to all of you who have helped Graham through this challenging time, surrounding him with such love and appreciation, making him feel cherished with your visits, calls, cards, emails and care packages.
We wish you a happy Hanukkah or Christmas and a new year filled with health, love, purpose and joy.
Perfect Hanukkah Menorah for Graham, the avid cyclist!
I even got to tell the artist what color to make the shorts, shirt and wheels.
Love,
Lee
