It's cancer

Burt had the endoscopic ultrasound done yesterday at Christiana Hospital and it revealed that he has a 2 cm mass in the pancreas. Dr. is certain it is malignant. We find out for sure on Tuesday. Either way, it has to come out. The duct from the pancreas to the small intestine is blocked by the mass, that's why he hasn't been getting any nutrition from the foods he eats. That's why he's been losing so much weight. The good thing is that the margins around this mass are clear and there are no veins feeding it.

At least now we know what's going on and can deal with it. We meet with a surgeon Monday. Please keep Burt in your prayers.
