My brother Frank & Anne's son Skeet needs your help. He was having problems swallowing and went to the doctors to find out what was causing it. After a number of tests, the doctors decieded to do an endoscopy to see what they could find. What they found was that the esophagus was impassable because of a tumor. They did a biopsy and found that the tumor was cancerous. After more testing they also found that the cancer has spread to his liver and lung. 

He is in great spirits and is ready to do battle and defeat this cancer.  He was at Boston Medical Center but because of insurance matters he was moved to the V A Hospital in West Roxbury. The original plan was to use radiation to shrink the tumor so he could get nourishment into him so that he could face the chemo but as of right now that has changed. This team of doctors believes it is best if they do chemo now and try to stop the aggresive cancer before it spreads any further.

What Skeet needs is your prayers and support. He's a great kid with a heart full of love for his family and friends. His address is:

Francis Muolo
c/o Veterans Hospital
2 South Room 109A
1400 VFW Parkway
West Roxbury, MA 02132

if you would like to send him a get well card or if you would rather call him, his number is 1-857-203-4752. He should be in the hospital at least until Tuesday the 27th and after that he should be home.

Your support will go a long way in helping Skeet conquer this disease.

Love and thanks,
Cousin Bill
