We did get some good news from Huntsman Cancer doctor Kimberly Jones on Thursday. The type of pancreatic cancer Craig most likely has is neuroendocrine tumors which is better than adenopancreatic cancer which is what Randy Pausch "The Last Lecture" guy had. This is a newer type of pancreatic cancer and the research on it is progressing which might give Craig a little more time than first thought and that makes us very happy. Craig is feeling well with just a little discomfort in the abdomen and frequent bathroom breaks. Friday he will receive instructions on a diuretic shot we will administer 3 times a day to help with the diarrhea. Next week a biopsy of the liver, then chemo.
We feel so blessed to have so many people remembering us. Thank you to everyone for being there for us. Craig is such a sweet, humble guy and is really reticent to receive the attention. Please keep him in your prayers.

You have a great family. We live in a great neighborhood and we want to do all we can to ease your worries and burdens. We are praying for you to have the best outcome. They have never met a patient like Craig. A sense of humor goes a long way and Craig will keep the medical people in stitches. You will have great help and since you are a fighter, and all the prayers, you will do well. We love your family so much. You will be in our thoughts and prayers every day.
