Any spare T&P would be greatly appreciated

I found out today that my uncle has cancer. He was admitted to the hospital while we were in Gettysburg and the doctors found a tumor near his pancreas. They sent it away for tests and found out that it was malignant. After further tests they discovered that he has pancreatic cancer and lymphoma.

My mom was on the phone with my aunt today and she gave more information, but my mom hasn't updated me yet. As far as I can tell, the prognosis doesn't seem good. 

If you guys could send a few T&P out for my aunt and uncle and their 2 boys, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

  • So, my mom told me today that the pancreatic and lymphoma are both Stage 1, and the tumor is about as big as the tip of an index finger down to the 1st knuckle (the doctor told my uncle that in all of the surgeries he's done, my uncle's tumor is the 2nd smallest he's had to work on).

    On June 30, he'll have the Whipple surgery done (to remove part of the pancreas, part of the bile duct, part of the intestine, and the tumor), but will still have to undergo rounds of chemo for the lymphoma and depending on how much of the tumor they can get out, the pancreatic cancer as well. So after his surgery he has a long road ahead of him. 

    Thanks for all the T&P and well wishes!
