He wrote a book about it. Unfortunately, I cannot find an english version.

I couldn't talk to him today - his Girls happily wore him out for Fathers Day. 
But Mary Ann says he's doing well, getting his nutrition and meds and holding 
steady. The Bambergers' celebration meant a lot to him. They are all coping 
together, taking it as it comes along.

Mary Ann says this week is better. The stent they put in his esophagous did not 
work and was causing a lot of pain. They were finally able to remove it and 
found some better pain meds, so he is more comfortable now, but a bit weak from 
the pain and procedure. Sue Schindel helped them find a hospice service that 
sounds awesome and Bob is resting up. If he is up to it, we'll take him to the 
next Grotto meeting.

Bob had a stent put in his esophagus on Thursday - it was supposed to be a one 
day procedure but he is having trouble with it working properly. He will stay 
in the hospital most likely through Monday until they sort it out and keep him 
properly nourished and hydrated in the meantime. He and the family are doing 
well - just more waiting.

Bob is good. I just left him at the hospital where he will be until probably 
Friday. He did not have the surgery today - they found some more cancer in his 
stomach and they will do another round of chemo soon to shrink those tumors. 
Keep the happy thoughts coming.

Friends/ Caver Family -

Bob has his surgery tomorrow. It will be more extensive than Bob hoped for (he 
was thinking a band-aid and a tylenol)  but he is in great spirits and looking 
forward to getting past the recovery. It'll be a long day for MaryAnn and the 
Girls while they wait. I'll be at the hospital after work tomorrow and let 
y'all know how he is doing.

Happy Thoughts for Bob and his Gals!

All - 

Bob is getting through his treatment Bob Style. He's in good spirits, positive, 
nearly done with chemo and only a few more weeks of radiation. He's lost a 
"bit" of weight, but we can fatten him up some when he gets through all this. 
MaryAnn is hanging tough with him as is are their Girls. Keep up the positive 
thoughts - they know we are all thinking of them.
