Back at it

Well, here we are again...did you miss us? :) I'm just going to cut & paste an email that I sent out earlier today. I'll keep you posted:

Hey folks!

Good news: We are officially taking steps to ensure that Matt never has to worry about testicular cancer again.

Bad news: That means we are heading down to Indian University in a few weeks for Matt to have surgery.

We thought everything on the last CT scan was positive, especially since the suspicious lymph node shrank, but the actual shrinking of it confirmed that there were still cancer cells there, so it wasn't as positive as we thought. Because of that, Dr. Foster and Dr. Einhorn, THE testicular cancer experts in the world (Dr. Einhorn formulated the chemo for testicular cancer that changed the mortality rate from 40% to 2%) have recommended removing the node.

What does that mean? Well...a drive to IU, 3 days in the hospital down there, no driving for a week and 4-6 weeks recovery. The surgery is VERY similar to a C-section and so is the recovery time. If Matt worked a desk job he'd be able to go back to work 7-14 days after surgery. However, because of his activity, it'll be longer.

So, unfortunately, www.mattsmiracle.blogspot.com has been resurrected. Please check there for updates. I'll post the surgery date and our travel itinerary as soon as we have it.

May God bless you all with His divine health, prosperity and lots of chocolate (and feel free to share some of the chocolate with us )

Much love,
Matt & Karin
