After discussing this with my wife Melanie, I have chosen to post this to let you all know about some things. About 2 weeks ago Melanie was taken to the ER from her classroom, with what was later diagnosed as a ruptured cyst in her ovary. This started a series of extensive tests. Long story short, she and I met with her Dr. yesterday afternoon as her results came back indicating she has breast cancer. The fact that an ER visit led to what we now know, though difficult to digest, I believe is a true blessing from GOD. I am banking on that fact as it is my nature. Things happen for a reason. Mel is a fighter. Very tough, sometimes stubborn (that is not a bad thing), and I have no doubt that her positive attitude will be a tremendous asset as well. Course it doesn’t hurt to have prayer and faith. So with that in mind we will start the process tomorrow morning, meeting with other Doctors etc. to ask tons of questions and determine the most appropriate course of action. In closing, I hope we all give thanks today and every day for what we have. And tell those you love, that you love them. Finally, get a check-up. Don’t wait !!!! Female or male. “Young†or “Oldâ€.
