Brian got the results back from his biopsy yesterday and it was not the news we wanted to hear. He has papillary carcinoma, a form of thyroid cancer. The doctor suggested removing the thyroid to insure that there is no recurrence. He will do that on October 23rd. They will check to see if it has spread to any other organs. There is a risk in the surgery of paralysis to the vocal chords but the doctor said that is slim. The doctor is very optimistic that he will be able to remove all the cancer without any chemo or radiation.
Brian is very scared right now. My biggest concern is for his mental state. He doesn't want to talk to anyone. He is devastated, understandably. Please be in prayer for him and keep calling. Eventually, I know he will answer. I will keep you updated on his progress. Please pass this on to anyone who knows us, or anyone who will pray. Thank you!!
