Today we are very grateful for Michele Lyman, PA, our long-time friend and health care provider, for fighting to get Phil into Huntsman--even before he had all the diagnostic tests. I really wanted Phil to have one doctor and one location for all tests and treatments, and Michele prevailed! Phil has an appointment with Dr. Agarwal, a medical oncologist, on February 10 to discuss what comes next.
I've always said there's only one thing worse than knowing what's wrong, and that's not knowing. Right now we wait . . . but once we know, we fight!
Thanks to everyone for your faith and prayers!
On January 26, 2011 we were told that Phil had cancer somewhere. By March 14 we had a diagnosis--stage 4 colon cancer with a life expectancy of 6 months to a year. Phil's response: "I don't care what they tell me. I'm going to beat this!" And if anyone can do it, Phil can, God willing!

It's Sunday . . .
As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Phil and I believe that we are placed on this earth to gain experience and strive to be like our Savior Jesus Christ. In our effort to become Christlike, we face many trials and challenges, but we believe that when we put the gospel first, everything else falls into place.
Proverbs 5:6-7 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
