Again, the Mighty Buffalo

The Buffalo returned to me in this picture found and sent to me from Jadon. It reminds us to be strong through this exceptional winter and to know that the Sun is reurning to bring its blessed warnth to us. Thank you God for the powerful and strong, may they be wise enough to help the weak and those with needs.

Dr.'s visit on Friday 2/5/2010

Friday was a great day, we went to M.D.Anderson to see my surgeon, Dr. Vaporciyan. One of his PA's, Sharon, went over my pathology report in detail with Denbie and myself and again we are so thankful for everyones thoughts and prayers on our behalf. The chemo & radiation had done their job pre-surgery and Dr. V was very successful in removing the cancer with the esophagectomy. He was able to remove my feeding tube and I am now a free man with no attachments on my body for the first time in several months, FREEDOM. Also, he removed any and all restrictions on my activity so am looking forward to returning to a more physical existence. My family and friends have been wonderful in inspiring and motivating me to get me through dealing with discovering that I had cancer , the treatment of it, and the healing that is now in process. I will be returning to M.D. Anderson every 6 months for the next two years for continuing tests to insure that I am to be called a "cancer survivor".
