New News

As Im sure most of you have heard Jesse has colon cancer. We have been going to the doctors like crazy for the past month trying to figure out whats wrong with him. We found out yesterday and it was somewhat of a shock but it was the last thing it could be before we had to start the tests all over again. I am so greatful that he has a job with insurance so that he was able to catch this early. The doctors seems very sure that with chemo and radiation he should fully recover. He will have to be checked every year maybe twice a year just to be on the safe side. We go to see the doctor again on wednesday to set up the treaments. I am assuming that he will have 5 days of radiation and one day of chemo because of how early we caught it. We are still waiting to see if it has spread outside of his colon. If it has spread then he will have to do more chemo and radiation and thats when it starts to get REALLY serious because if it spreads to other orangs or the lymph nodes we are in real trouble.
I just want to say thank you for all the support and prayers that all of you have given. It means so much to me that everyone cares! I knew you all did but its nice to have this support system when you need it. I have been through this a couple times with people that I love and hope that I can offer some help to Jesse. We love you all tons!
