"Auntie, here is an update for the blog:
We have just returned from the hospital and the news, while not a surprise to God, was not what we had hoped to hear. The preliminary biopsy showed cancer (lymphoma). I will be returning to SLU to have a full body PET scan done to determine the extent of the cancer, and then visiting the orthopedic surgical oncologist as well as another oncologist to find out the exact type of lymphoma, the stage, and where all it is within my body. At that point they will decide which course of chemotherapy and the duration of that treatment. If there is any good news in this, it is that Lymphoma is a readily treated cancer. It may take a while, but there are treatments and they do work.
We want to thank all of you for your prayers, calls, thoughts, cards, and messages these last couple of weeks. They have bolstered our spirits and lightened our burden. We love each and every one of you! God is so good and He is always faithful. We will continue to praise Him in this storm.
Always in His powerful grip,
Stef and Dan"
