    The good news is that Mikes bloodwork was perfect but the bad news is that 3 tumors in his right lung lit up on his PET scan showing that they are active and growing, and the brain MRI showed a TINY spot that is most likely a metastasis but is inconclusive. We were completely shocked because Mike feels great and doesn’t have any symptoms. Even though the results weren’t what we had prayed for, we are happy that the PET only lit up in the lung and nowhere else! There is a clinical trial called Blu-667 (it doesn’t have a proper name yet), that they want Mike to enroll in, that will require us to go to Mayo once a week for bloodwork, and other testing, so we are reading the thick binder about it and will decide very soon if that is the route we want to go.

    We so appreciate all the prayers and kind words on Facebook! Like I said I don’t share much but when you get so many responses and words of encouragement  you realize that people really do care and all the nice messages and extra prayers helped to lift us up. We don't understand why an athletic, life long non-smoker would get lung cancer before the age of 40, but we do know that God is in control and HE knows. We will continue to live life to the fullest and trust in Him!

    I will let you know what decide about Blu-667 after we read all the paperwork

    Be blessed,
