[Woodcarver] update on Don

[SANDIE BURGDORF]

Hi everyone,

The prayers seem to be working. Today we got the verdict from all of the tests and there is hope. The lung cancer does not seem to have spread - Don had one more x-ray today to double check. Chemo will be 3 days next week. The lesions on the left kidney are benign cysts. The right kidney shows signs of kidney cancer. The doctor says that it is rare for two different kinds of cancer to develop at the same time but it appears that they have. (I always said Don was talented!) Fortunately kidney cancer is a slow growing cancer so it can be watched while the lung cancer is treated. After the lung cancer is treated then removal of the kidney is a possibility. The doctor says that this type of lung cancer has a 25 to 40% cure rate.

Keep those prayers coming. Bless you all.

Sandie
