October 10 Update on Steve (obstacles and opportunities) Steve is doing well considering. During the neck dissection at the University of Colorado, Dr. McEntire removed 12 cancerous lymph nodes near the esophogus and arteries in his neck, and a few tumors. One of which was completely wrapped around one of the nerves that controls your speech and swollowing. The Doc removed the tumor from the nerve and was positive that he damaged the nerve but the nerve was in tact. The prognosis wasn't good regarding the lasting effects, but miraculously, Steve was swollowing and speaking by that evening. The Doc also removed 37 lymphnodes on the right side between his ear and esophogus, of which 9 were cancerous. He also removed several large tumors in that area as well. We will be going back to Denver near Thanksgiving for follow-up. We will find out what level his cancer is at now, and what treatment option are out there for us. Wish us luck. Also good news is that he secured a State job in Utah. Moab Utah to be exact so we will be attempting to sell our home to move there. He starts at the end of this month so we are excited. It is something that we have been praying for. Steve has also decided that he wants to be baptized into the LDS church. Of course it has been a long process, and a decision that he is very excited about. What a great blessing this will be for him and our family, He is being baptized tomorrow. Our oldest son will be baptizing Steve and is also very excited. One last thing..... Thank you all for your many prayers and support. Your prayers and unselfish support have definitely helped us through our struggles and will continue to help us. Talk to you soon Comments (2)
