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

Happy 70th Birthday!!!

There have been times that I wondered if Mark would be here for his 70th birthday. Today, December 28th, we CELEBRATE!!! 

This past year has certainly taken a toll on his body—he is quite frail, often nauseous, and gets easily fatigued, but he is not in pain, his mind is clear, and he has not been in the hospital for three weeks. That’s quite an accomplishment! He does have fevers that come and go, but it could be a side effect of the meds, Braftovi and Mektovi. Even though life isn’t what we would prefer, we love the time we get to spend together! 

In a couple of weeks, Mark will have a CT scan to see what is happening with those tumors. Since he is still on the targeted therapy, we won’t know which is doing the most good—that or the T-cell therapy. Either way, we pray that something is causing those tumors to shrink and go away. 



May the coming year 2022, bring many good things your way!  

With love and appreciation, 

Ane & Mark
