Biopsy Update

In my family, I have become known as the Blog Chick and I must say that up
until yesterday, I have had no problem writing updates on my dear beloved
Uncle Kevin. But, I know so many people are checking this blog for updates,
so it is really an honor to communicate his situation to his wonderful
friends and supporters even though this update is the hardest I have
written!

On their way home from a very long day at the hospital yesterday afternoon,
Becky called my mom and asked that we meet at their house to be available
for some news shortly after Kevin and Becky told KB.

Here is what they said...

During a very long day of tests at MUSC on Friday, they determined that the
cancer has come back very aggressively. His surgeons have analyzed the test
results and scans and have gotten lots of second opinions from all over the
country as well as from our trusted family doctor/savior, Dr. Fairey, to
determine if they will either do another liver resection surgery middle to
end of next week or start Kevin on chemotherapy immediately. Becky and Kevin
were suppose to hear from their surgeon today on whether or not he had
decided to do the surgery or if he was going to start chemo, but this
evening, shortly after supper, he called and said that he wants to do some
more tests at the beginning of next week to see if the cancer has spread to
other areas of Kevin's body before they make the decision to operate.

I am personally devastated by this news and you can only imagine how Becky,
Kevin and KB and the rest of our immediate family are handling this
situation. Their phone is ringing off the hook and I hope that Kevin's
siblings and friends know that it is a daily pleasure for them to check this
blog and see your comments. Kevin's way of dealing with his situation is to
talk about it, so please feel free to go visit Kevin, you will be amazed how
much better HE will make YOU feel!

Every day for the next week will be very challenging for Kevin, Becky and KB
and we will spread the news immediately as soon as we know if Kevin will
have surgery or if he will start chemotherapy.

Thank you for your love, support, prayers, jokes, hugs, meals, donations,
sweet treats and friendship!

Remember, every day is game day!
