We have begun our journey our surgery is scheduled for July 14, in Tulsa Oklahoma, we have a long road adhead of us, but I know with faith, friends, and GOD we will get through this. i will keep you all posted. I don't like the cancer word anyway but i know everyone don't like that word, but we somehow always know life is not an easy road whoever thought we would be given this diesease.
