what to do?

I haven't written in a few days because I didn't know what to say without sounding all doom and gloom. Joe's entire torso is full of "nodules," which I assume is a nice way of saying tiny tumors. They think some of these nodules might be interfering with his internal organs for several reasons. First, his bladder wasn't working properly and now Joe has a catheter. When they first put it in, they got out 10,000 cc, and that's just not cool! He's retaining water so badly that he's gained back 50 pounds. His feet, legs, and stomach look so swollen the skin is stretched and shiny. The oncologist honestly doesn't know what to do next. It's been pretty rough in room 4210 lately, so if everyone could pray harder, we'd appreciate it. :)
