[Woodcarver] Ol' Don update

> Just returned from Nashville - today was the day we got the results of the kidney biopsy. The biopsy was non-diagnostic - it didn't pick up any cancer cells. The specialist and the doctor who did the biopsy are sure that Don has renal cell carcinomas (2 spots) in his right kidney. The left kidney has non-cancerous cysts. The doctor says the kidney must come out but then Don is left with only one kidney which might have something go wrong at any time. Also, if the lung cancer returns, one kidney is stressed to handle chemo. Since the spots have not grown since April, we are putting off the decision until January. This will give Don's body time to finish healing from the chemo and radiation.

> I think I posted that the lung cancer is totally gone.

> We will be attending the show in Huntsville next weekend and the one in Dayton the following. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Dayton. Be sure to stop by Don's booth for a hug and a howdy.
