Good Report

Dad got the results of his Cat Scan Monday and the cancer has not spread. One tumor in the lower lung doubled in size but the tumor on the pancreas decreased in size a little. We're extremely happy with the report. The doctor decided to keep him on the same treatment plan for the time being. Dad thanked the doctor for all he had done and the doctor looked at him and said, "Don't thank me, thank God." Needless to say, the doctor is very surprised and excited about the results of the test.

He had to get a pint of blood prior to his treatment today due to a low red blood cell count.

All things considered he's doing pretty good. We went dove hunting the last time I was at home and I think he's planning on coming up here in a couple weeks for urban deer season. I met him and mom last weekend at Springfield for my buddies annual fish fry. Mom's doing good and Angie's staying busy with work and a new baby on the way in November.

I wish you and your families the best,

Take Care,

PS: The golf tournament last weekend was a success. The conservation team raised over $4100.00 for the American Cancer Society.

If your a MO state employee I encourage you to donate to PANCAN through the MSECC. It's code 8247.

Cat Scan Tomorrow

Dad's been doing good since the last post. He's continuing to take treatments every two weeks. He's taking another Cat Scan tomorrow. We hope and pray the cancer has not spread. Please keep dad in your thoughts and prayers tonight and tomorrow as he gets the test.

Thanks for your continued support,
