Reprinted from Luke’s blog at 2 Dogs 2000 Miles. Murphy’s life expectancy got downgraded last week. That pisses me off but like I recently posted on Facebook, I don’t know whether I have more fight or faith in me but his metastatic cancer is not going to keep us down… Here’s what’s in store for us this week: Monday December 20th – Drop Murphy...

Dr. Withrow is still consulting with the radiation team and we’re meeting back at CSU at 9am. As of yesterday afternoon we discussed putting a scope up there and biopsying the new tissue just to...

Thanks to Hope Lisle who shared some of the photos she took of everyone enjoying some Christmas Caroling in Fort...

Luke posted this blog today, Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Murphy hasn’t had a CT scan yet.
