Fourth and Final

This summer out of nowhere, Daren's brother David, was diagnosed with bladder cancer. We were stopped in our tracks when we heard this news. Thankfully, the cancer has kept itself to the bladder and hasn't wreaked havoc anywhere else in his body. He has been doing chemo for a few months now and this past week, he received his 4th and final round! YEA!!

It gets pretty lonely sitting in the hospital room for 3 days at a time so we paid him a visit. Amazingly enough, that was my first trip to MD Anderson....we are so lucky to have that in our backyard here in Houston.

David has been a trooper and has done really well, but the most daunting task is yet to come. He'll have surgery in October to remove his bladder. The road ahead will be a tough one following the surgery, but we are very confident that David will fully recover and move on with his life. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

Here is a picture of Daren, David and their sister, Dena from our visit to MDA.
