Hi everybody. We hope this blog finds you happy and healthy. We went to Tampa to have the external tubes "internalized" but the docs decided to keep them on the outside for now. We got to Tampa every 4 to 6 weeks to have them changed. The thinking is that when we change them, maybe we can keep them open and draining better. We see the oncoligist on Tues but we don't expect much- The written info doesn't show much improvement for the discomfort chemo causes. If we can keep the drains open, the options look unlimited but if we internalize them, they could re-block causing a bigger problem later. Thats it for now. Thanks again for all of your support, prayers, cards,e-mails, and calls- it is always great to hear your voices. Bye for now, be safe and stay healthy. The Rutts
