Ed passed away on November 1, 2009 and was buried last Thursday, November 5th.
Many of you have inquired from time to time about his condition and how he was getting along, and I want you to know how much I have appreciated you all being there for me during this very difficult time that has been going on for most of this year.
Love,
Betty

Our Trip to Vanderbilt Hospital
Several of you have written me wanting an update on Ed, and I appreciate all of you who have shown us so much love and concern throughout this terrible journey.
The doctor we saw at Vanderbilt did surgery on Ed on August 7th. He removed the right kidney and most all of the ureter. The cancerous tumor started inside the ureter and grew very large to the outside of the ureter. The doctor was unable to get all the cancer without removing his leg as the tumor was growing close to the big artery in his leg. This news was devastating to us. We were expecting the doctor to come out and tell us the cancer was in some of the lymph nodes as he had indicated before surgery that tests appeared to imply this, but we never expected him to say he wasn't able to get all of it. Ed was in the hospital for eleven days, and I stayed with him the entire time. I am still not rested, but at least I'm not in Ed's shoes.
We go back to see the surgeon next Wednesday, September 2nd. I believe the doctor will be talking to us then about the possibility of either chemo or radiation. I will try to remember to give an update as we go along. Right now we don't know what to expect.
Thanks again for all the love and interest you have shown us. Above all, thank you for all the prayers being sent up on Ed's behalf. I hope you will continue to remember him in prayer. I know God is the great Physician and all things are possible with God.
Love,
Betty
