We are here in Portland and spent the afternoon with Ben & Art. The city is very interesting & you can go just about anywhere using the free rail system. We took the rail to a very nice resturant & Ben treated us to a very nice dinner. He is doing very well at his job with Morley Stanley and is trying to take the next 2 months off to help Art with his treatments. Art had a doctor's appointment this morning to go over his MRI results. His kemo treatments shrunk his cancer in his lung but did not get rid of it completely. It is very agressive. They are going to start radiation treatments on his brain & chest Wed. The cancer has spread to his brain & other parts of his body. According to Ben the treatments will only help prolong his life but it won't cure him. With good care (eating well, taking his meds & excercise) he adds time to his life. Ben & Art are going to go see Marjorie & the baby later this week. Eventually Art will probably go to a Hospice house or the Vet hospital. It dosen't look very promising but you just never know.
