Thanks. It's esophageal. She really didn't have much in the way of symptoms. She called and asked me for a recommendation and I got her into my GE doc, who's also a close friend. She'd put me down on the HIPAA form, so he called me and I could tell he was shaken. He's normally a pretty cool-headed character...

Sincere best wishes to her and the people she will be leaving. It speaks highly of you that she would cite you on that form. I hope her final day is peaceful.

Glad she managed to stick to the fight that long. Not sure that I'd be that strong in the same situation but I hope I would.

She's conscious but on a morphine pump. In a certain sense, her problems are finally ending and my life is getting more complicated, since I'm her PR (executor) and trustee for our grandchildren...

Yes. I had just commented to my wife that I hated just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. Years ago, the doctors told her at Johns-Hopkins that, when the chemo ceased to work, the cancer would take off like wildfire. They were right. Last week, she was talking about going to a dance. Tuesday, she complained about her pain level to me, which was very unusual. It's really been similar to a sudden collapse...

I assume hospice is involved and thus pain and comfort being managed. At this point that is all one can do, I think. Thinking of you and yours, Earle....stay strong for your family....

The hospital is discharging her to hospice this afternoon and my daughters are driving her back here. Fingers crossed...
