For those...

For those of you who don't have Facebook, I just wanted to post it on here as well....We need lots of prayers for my Mom's husband, Mike....He finally got into the doctor last Monday b/c he has not been feeling well and has lost all taste in his mouth...There was a knot on the right side of his throat as well...His regular doctor and even dentist has been thinking allergies or sinus infection and he's been taking lots of medicines with no relief...After waiting 6 weeks to get in, he finally got to see the ENT on Monday, and a biopsy was done...We knew last Wednesday that it was for sure cancer but didn't know anything else....He had a PET Scan done on Saturday and was told he would find out the results on Monday...So patiently we all waited yesterday and no call came...He went up to the doctor's office and was told that haven't received any of the results...So we waited longer and was called today....The doctor still doesn't have all the results in but did receive the film that did indeed show a large tumor in his throat and the cancer is in not only in his throat, but his tongue and glands...He and mom are now waiting on that Doctor to make the referral to MD Anderson and then they will call him to schedule an appt to meet with him and go over everything else...B/C we all have lots of questions like prognosis, stage what??, chemo, radiation, both, etc....
Mike is just such an optimistic man...He is so healthy--works out and is in super shape...He has such a strong faith in the Lord....So I know this isn't going to be easy, but in my heart I know he can do this!
