Introduction

Late February of 2012 Mark was diagnosed with stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma Cancer. This is written for our family and friends who have so caringly expressed a desire to know of the current situation. We so appreciate the love and support that has been shown to us and we lovingly empathize with and pray for many of you that have had or are currently going through trials of your own. In love, hope and faith, Mark and Ane

Feeling Better

Well, the yard is not all cleaned up but much better. We can at least walk through the backyard without tripping over logs and tree limbs. In total, we lost five trees, and many are sadly reformed from their normal shape. The tree service we were working with before the ice storm is scheduled to be here in a month, but our landscapers worked an extra day and got most of it cleaned up. Power is such a wonderful thing; we are totally spoiled with all of our conveniences. I am grateful for a new gas fireplace that really put out the heat and a generator that powered all the frig/freezers, water pump, and electronics.

I'm feeling much better, but still not 100%. I tire easily, itch all over, and am weaker than usual. But all in all, not bad. The doctors say this is all normal and good. It means the immune system is working overtime. I'm starting up some small projects around our yard this week with some help, and we keep working on our personal histories. 

The pain in my liver seems to have subsided, which is where the cancer was growing. We assume that means the tumor is shrinking. We will find out on the 11th, with a morning CT scan and an afternoon doctor appointment. If it is good news, we get to start up the treatments again, probably on the 22nd. 

Thank you for your wonderful support. It makes such a difference to have others cheering and praying for you. Thank you!
