OBD Summertime Update

Kevin Blanchard is the most positive person we know. He has been battling liver cancer, bile duct cancer and now lung cancer for 1 year, 6 months and 19 days since the silent mess was discovered. He’s survived over 13 surgeries, major organ removal, 3 series of chemo-therapies, other drug-therapy, loss of his livelihood and major changes in his life plans and daily activities. Because of his liver/bile duct/ digestive metabolism, he hasn’t lost weight like some people going through this kind of battle, so he still looks great - same handsome guy that we all know and love! After all of this effort, some of the lung tumors are stabilized, some are growing and there are a few more in different sections. Now he’s going to take a “chemo vacation” so that he can enjoy some quality time this beautiful summer with KB & Becky before deciding on the next plan of attack. Kevin remains positive and steadfastly resolved in his belief for a successful win over this vicious opponent and wants to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support.
