Jeff is clearly fighting with determination. The doctor recently doubled his chemotherapy to 4000mgs a day through May 6th with a weekly infusion drip. Spots on his pancreas have not spread or grown. This is a major praise! Day to day, he hasn't been able to keep anything down and he is able to gain some weight. Bills continue to mount, your support is appreciated!

The fight continues
Jeff has a full week of chemotherapy ahead of him and today, he is feeling the worst of it. He can hardly get out of bed. He is very sick and not able to keep anything down (food wise). I am sending his final disbursement of the funds raised and continued support is needed. Please consider a gift in support of his cancer fight. Thank you! Vince

CinthyaThanks Vince, for posting this update. This has been a very hard week and the next 7 days will be just as challenging as I am in my 2nd week of chemotherapy. Please continue to pray for me and this struggle.

Two steps forward, one step back
Hello friends!
Jeff finished his pain medication last Monday and has begun a series of appointments this week to remove the staples from his incision and learn more about the lab results from the cancer they removed. He remains encouraged with all of the support. Thank you for continuing to send encouragement!
