A change, for the better we hope

I apologize for my infrequent posting this year.  It has been a crazy year.  First the life impacting information then how things have been going for the year.

I had scans last week, and met with my doctor this week.  My tumor has shown some minimal growth while decreasing in metabolic activity.
What does this mean, no real change, so the tumor is still stable.

After counselling with my cancer doctors, we are looking at surgery to remove the tumor.  I have already met with the surgeon and his team.  We (and I say we because it will affect my whole family) will be having surgery on September 9th.  So prayers would be appreciated.  I will be having a resection of my left lower lobe.  We are hoping for a quick recovery and the good news is I will be cancer free.  Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since my last post Peggy has graduated and has accepted a teaching position at Three Mile Creek in Perry Utah as the special education teacher.  I credit myself a lot for preparing her for this job.  Primarily the challenges I give her on a daily basis.

This kids start school on Monday, Caity is a senior and Morgan is a sophomore.  Shaeli is finishing up school for being a medical billing a coding person.  Things are going really good right now.  My health insurance business is continually getting better.  Even with the uncertainty of having surgery we are optimistic of how things are going.  I will try to keep you up to date on how the surgery goes.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Lovely Day.
Andy.
