Subject: Burly update
Hello everyone
It's time we need to come to grips with reality, and face that Burly is very, very sick, and his chances of getting better are precarious at best. The Dr. says he's at stage 3B cancer.
The Dr.s and nurses know how sick he is, and that he's tired of all the probing and testing.
We still have some time in which to decide if he wants to pursue treatment, but right now, it doesn't look like it, and frankly, I don't know how he could tolerate anything making him sicker yet. Altho' there is still one test to come back from the University of Iowa hospitals. He aches, and is so weak, but he's not in pain - our one great blessing.
We're all upset, and hating to face these facts, but we have to.
He loves looking at your cards and notes. Thank you
Love, Betty
