After visiting with Dr. Park on Saturday afternoon, Gus questioned him about the pathologist statement that he rarely had seen a pancreatic tumor respond to treatment like Gus’. We were wrong. The Pathologist had NEVER seen a pancreatic tumor respond like this in all his years of practice and he is an older man.
The samples of the tumor are now undergoing very extensive test to see exactly what is present. The test results will take six to seven days.
My sister, Lynne, made the suggestion that while Gus is in Seattle he should get a 2nd opinion from a medical Oncologist who deals with pancreatic cancer all the time. Dr. Park was in total agreement and he wants Gus to see Dr. Samuel Whiting who specializes in pancreatic cancer. This will mean that Gus will stay in Seattle longer. Gus will be staying with his son T.J. and family.
Right now it looks like Gus will be dismissed from the hospital on Tuesday. I will bring him back with me to the hotel where we will stay until Saturday. T.J. will then pick us up on Saturday and take me to the Airport and take his dad home with him.

Kathleen, I'm a little concerned that Gus is being "dismissed" from the hospital. Is he being unruly? We have been very anxious for you guys and it's such positive news about the efficacy of the treatments. Your faith, courage, and persistence are a powerful example to all of us. Love, John and Sheri
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. We miss you and look forward to both of you getting back to Sheridan. What a mighty God we serve! We are going to sing "Forever" in church this week to remind us all that God is forever faithful, forever strong and forever with us. Gus you are a testimony of that faithfulness to us all. Loving you very much and sending prayers for continued healing and strength.
