Sad news-update

Just found out that my brother in law, Danny has a mass on his pancreas.  Biopsy will probably be tomorrow.  He was so sick i thought he should have been put in hospital Friday...don't think his doc made a good decision.  My sister had to take him to ER last night. With the labwork he had Friday very close to liver failure.

Danny is a great guy.  One of those guys everyone likes...very kind and thoughtful. He has 2 grown children (young adults)  Please send your positive thoughts, prayers, or whatever his way. This is terrible.

Thanks guys.  Looks like now it will be Friday before they can do the procedure to stage it...see if it has spread already. Did a procedure today to open up the bile ducts to get him some relief.  So hard on him and my sister to have to do all this waiting.  Hoping for no spread yet so they can remove it surgically.

Thanks all.  Diagnosis is pancreatic cancer..plan is to start chemo..try to shrink the tumor and then do surgery if that is successful.  It will be the whipple procedure.  Sounds like he has a good surgeon and oncologist...they also seem to be compassionate people who are very supportive of him getting a consult at a major medical center.  He is going to Vanderbilt next week and they will coordinate treatment with the local oncologist.

No one has mentioned stages yet, but sounds like it at least is not stage 4. Always hoping for the best. He and my sister have been through hell for the past couple of weeks.  Tough times ahead...the fight has begun.

A crisis tonight...he is on the way to Vanderbilt hospital now.  Had a consult there previously.  Hoping this crisis is because of poor GI treatment....bile duct stent and not directly the cancer.  That is the best we can hope for.  Please send some positive energy.

Saying a prayer for Danny now.

    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
