Yesterday we reviewed my scan with Evelyn.&nbsp; <\/font><font color=\"#0000ff\">My results were mixed. The liver cancer and the spinal cancer are stable, no better or worse. The esophageal cancer is indeterminate. When the stent was installed, the surgeon altered the tumor too much to see if it\u2019s worse or not. The lung cancer is getting worse, but those aren\u2019t my most severe tumors. The odds are that I\u2019ll be with us at least until the beginning of the year. We are going to continue the immunotherapy treatment. Although a \u201ccure\u201d is out of the question, we hope that it will slow the progress enough to give me a little more time.&nbsp; Thanks and a green cloud to Squatch as thanks for the card.
