<DIV>Ben does have pancreatitis. Today he had an ultrasound and
x-rays. The x-rays were negative. The ultrasound showed a splenic
lesion with target appearance. That suggests a metastasis of a
carcinoma. No primary tumors were found, but a needle aspiration was done
of the lesion, and I should have the results in 3 to 5 days. He came home
and drank a good amount of water, and has eaten a scrambled egg, some turkey
ham, some fried cod and some chicken breast. I just hope for the
best. Any drool that can be sent will be most appreciated.</DIV>
