Thank you Dr. Collette and team for sending this in for Alex

Dr. C called today, after preparing the samples to send to Tufts.
The cancer was greatly spread through out the stomach and there was a perforation the size of a nickel in the stomach wall.  He is still amazed at how Alex was able to walk in to the office on Friday.
Alex was a strong Belgian with a strong heart.
